We offer comprehensive dispute resolution services through litigation, arbitration or mediation. Our goal is to provide the most effective and commercially viable solutions to resolve civil or commercial disputes. Our team is skilled in managing disputes from inception to resolution, ensuring that our clients’ interests are protected at all stages of the process.

Banking Litigation

Since 1998, Azhar & Wong has provided legal services to various financial institutions in debt recovery, foreclosure (both charge and assignment matters), execution and enforcement of judgments/orders and insolvency proceedings. Our wealth of experience in handling such proceedings, whether contested or otherwise covers all levels from the subordinate courts up to the appellate courts. We also represent financial institutions in defending claims initiated by their customers, ensuring comprehensive legal support in all banking litigation matters.

 

Insurance Law & Subrogation

Our work in subrogation recovery proceedings for insurance companies started in the mid-2000s, and since then, we have consistently achieved high recovery rates for claims initiated through both civil courts and arbitration. Over the years, our firm has developed a deep expertise in handling a variety of claims, particularly those involving property damage and loss and marine (dry) related claims.

Our approach is thorough and methodical, starting with a detailed assessment of the incident and the insured’s loss, followed by meticulous preparation of the recovery claim. We work closely with insurance companies, claims agents and loss adjusters to gather all necessary evidence, including expert reports to substantiate the claims. Our team is skilled at negotiating settlements that maximize recovery for our clients, but we are equally prepared to pursue litigation when a favourable settlement cannot be reached.

Beyond handling claims, we also advise our clients on the interpretation of insurance policy wording. Insurance policies can be intricate documents with provisions that are sometimes ambiguous or open to interpretation. Our legal team assists insurance companies in understanding and applying policy terms correctly, helping to clarify coverage issues and avoid potential disputes.
