In other words, clients get to actually :
M/s Y F Tan & Co has been deliberately kept small so that Yew Fai can give each client the personalised service he/she deserves, and we are proud of it. After all, 'it is the quality of the delegated mechanic rather than the size of the workshop that first and foremost determines the quality of repairs'. In the vast majority of cases, there is only one main conducting litigator at any one time. It also means that clients are not made to pay for multiple lawyers (from the same firm) for their cases. Furthermore, with technological advancement in the provision of legal services such as eFiling (of court documents) and web-based legal research, the advantages of being small, personal and nimble are even more profound.
Yew Fai's legal practice centers primarily on :
