Bryan graduated from the University of London with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and was called to the Bar in England as a Barrister-at-Law at Inner Temple in 2017. He then completed his chambering in Messrs Lim Kian Leong & Co and was called to the Malaysian Bar in 2018.
Since then, Bryan has been actively involved in civil and corporate commercial litigation and regularly engaged as counsel and/or co-counsel at all tiers of the court, from Magistrate to the Federal Court.
Committed and driven to provide excellence to his clients, Bryan works closely with his clients in strategizing to resolve any litigious matter speedily; bridging the gap between clients and the court.
Being a versatile litigator, he is often engaged in a wide area of practice with a specific focus predominantly in fraudulent transactions, corporate and commercial disputes involving shareholders, personal and corporate insolvency, tortious and employment matters.
Contract law is critical to the modern business world. It is a fundamental element of maintaining business relationships and protecting your organisation. Whilst a contract is a legally binding agreement between parties to create mutual obligations, contract interpretation is often a complex matter and may not be as straightforward as it seems.
At Messrs Bryan Goh, we have successfully represented and defended our clients in dealing with debt recovery and contract disputes including but not limited to misrepresentation, fraud, deceit, and breaches of agreements between various parties ranging from individuals, SMEs, public or private companies, and multinational companies.
Dismissal and termination by companies must often be justified with a valid reason. Companies must therefore comply with the strict policies and guidelines found in each company. Our experience includes representation of individuals and companies in respect of legal disputes such as redundancy, sexual harassment, misconduct, constructive dismissal, discrimination, and unfair dismissal at the Industrial Court of Malaysia, and has a track record of successful negotiation and settlement on behalf of our clients.
With the growth of technology and information can be shared with just a click away nowadays, it is difficult to identify the source or the accuracy of any information shared. The matter could be worse when it concerns misleading or false information being shared or authored by individuals and/or companies and circulated on the internet. In this regard, we have experience in dealing with defamation cases involving libel and slander.
An order for bankruptcy on an individual or winding-up of a company can be detrimental and the repercussions can be severe. It should not be taken lightly, especially when assets or properties can be seized and forfeited. Our lawyers can assess and gauge the strength of each proceeding and therefore provide a strategic solution for clients before it is too late.
Public regulatory or licensing bodies are organisations created by statute and their decisions are therefore capable of being reviewed subject to certain conditions in law having been satisfied. In this aspect, we have successfully represented individual or corporate entities in bringing judicial review action against decisions made by public bodies that resulted in losses and damages.
Professional duties are often assessed and regulated against the reasonable standards adopted by professional bodies. Whether the circumstances justify the cause is therefore dependent on the factors found in each case.
At Messrs Bryan Goh, we have experience representing clients in disputes including but not limited to professional negligence, malpractice, and fraud involving professionals such as solicitors, accountants, surveyors, and architects.
A decision that is made by the company sometimes may not be in the best interest of the company or its shareholders. We have experience in bringing action against company directors for breaches of fiduciary duties, minority oppression, and dispute involving shareholders or their members
