Our firm started in January 2006 as Wee Woon Hong & Associates. Five years later, our firm changed its name to “Opal Lawyers LLC” to create a stronger corporate identity. Opal is a gemstone that exists in blue and other hues of colour. Our Chinese firm name is 蓝钰法律事务所, where 钰means treasure in Chinese. 蓝 (blue) is the colour of sky, which signifies the sky to be the limit for what we can be. 钰 contains both gold and jade, being symbols of wealth and represents our core business in corporate finance.
