Our Journey
Our Journey
Carol and Michelle Tiong are the founders of the firm.
Our journey begins in 1998 when Michelle was called to the Malaysian Bar where she commenced her legal practice as an advocate and solicitors. As a legal professional, Michelle strives for perfection and often gone above and beyond what is expected of her. Having a strong ethical behaviour, Michelle builds trust in her team and brings positive work culture in her practice. In 2003, Michelle rose to the challenge and set up her own law practice.
On the other hand, Carol was called to the Malaysian Bar in 2006. Since then, Carol has advised on complex corporate and commercial litigation involving government bodies, port authorities, land authorities, financial institutions, and professional bodies. Carol believes that lawyer plays an integral role in maintaining the Rule of Law viz. Independence, Honesty, Integrity and Fairness. Mirroring the core values, Carol leads by example and exemplifies excellence in her conducts and behaviour to influence others to be better.
Together, Carol and Michelle established Tiong and Associates in April 2019.
