Shook Lin & Bok was founded in 1918 in Malaya (modern-day Malaysia) by two renowned practitioners Yong Shook Lin and Tan Teow Bok. The founders set high standards of professionalism, commitment and innovation, virtues which continue to forge the character of Shook Lin & Bok’s lawyers to this day. In 1964, Shook Lin & Bok was established in Singapore in an effort to create a pan-Asian law firm. From the outset, we have had a strong regional focus, a goal which has continued to drive Shook Lin & Bok through the years. In 1988, we were the first law firm to establish a dedicated China Practice. Now, the China Practice is one of the most highly-regarded in the market. With our clients showing increasing interest in the Indian sub-continent, a successful India Practice was launched in 2005. Today, Shook Lin & Bok, with a history of over 90 years in the region, is a top-tier law firm servicing banks and financial institutions, exchanges and other regulatory bodies, listed and unlisted Singaporean and Asian corporations as well as multi-nationals. Many of our clients have been with us since our establishment. Our clients are attracted to us by our commitment to excellence and the holistic approach to pragmatic legal solutions which we have honed and developed over the years. Our historical grounding in the region offers our clients yet another advantage as they seek to extend their reach into Asia, be it from a Singapore base or elsewhere.
