DFDL Expands Regional Footprint by Entering into Strategic Collaboration with Malaysian Law Firm Robin Lynn & Lee

Robin Lynn & Lee, a new Malaysian law firm and a DFDL collaborating firm, is pleased to announce its official launch and opening of its office in Kuala Lumpur.

The firm is led by three experienced, trailblazing partners: Robin Teow, Hui Lynn Tan, and Bin Hau Lee. They have advised clients from various industries such as financial services, manufacturing, logistics & transportation, education, technology, fintech, e-commerce, healthcare, and more. Robin has been a partner and the Head of China Desk of DFDL since 2016. Both Robin and Bin Hau have worked in major Chinese law firms in Beijing, China before continuing their practice in Malaysia. Hui Lynn was practicing with one of the largest law firms in Malaysia before joining a fintech group as its global general counsel.

The firm is established in collaboration with DFDL, a leading international law firm with offices across ASEAN and Bangladesh. They will work with DFDL to provide seamless and integrated legal services to clients in Malaysia and other jurisdictions where DFDL operates. As a result of this new collaboration and of the recent partnership entered into with Nusantara DFDL Partnership in Indonesia, DFDL now has a total headcount of over 160 professionals across 12 offices within its network.

What excites me about embarking on this transformative journey is the prospect of contributing positively to the legal and business communities in Malaysia and beyond. We believe that our local expertise and DFDL’s regional platform will create a strong value proposition for our clients who are looking for high-quality and cost-effective legal solutions in Southeast Asia,” said Robin Teow, Managing Partner of Robin Lynn & Lee.

DFDL welcomes Robin Lynn & Lee as our collaborating firm in Malaysia. An experienced and very dynamic team coming with a great mindset and energy; the ideal fit for DFDL. We look forward to strengthening our relationship and expanding our capabilities in Malaysia and beyond. We strongly believe our collaborating firm in Malaysia will succeed with their professionalism, dedication, and results-oriented approach,” said Audray Souche, Managing Partner of DFDL.

As part of our regional growth strategy, we are pleased to expand our footprint to Kuala Lumpur by forging a strategic alliance with Robin Lynn & Lee,” said Martin Desautels, DFDL’s Senior Partner. “This is a natural progression of our long-standing success in Asia. We look forward to providing local expertise, and we are confident that our clients across Southeast and South Asia will benefit greatly from Robin, Hui Lynn, Bin Hau, and our team.”
