how we began2Our 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.

Our Track Record in Asia's Capital Markets

These assignments were undertaken in the next 9 years after we started as a niche legal practice. Click here for more details.

In addition, we have handled over 45 share placements, rights issues and issues of convertible securities for listed companies in Singapore by 2015. Separately, we have also handled legal documentation for more than 50 fund investments in start-up, venture capital, private equity and pre-IPO funding, and acted for either the fund investors or target companies.
