Overview of Organisation:
On 1 May 1963, John Skrine and his like-minded partners Stanley Peddie, Peter Mooney, William Donald Bewsher and Chin Yoong Chong founded Skrine & Co, guided by the belief that integrity is the cornerstone of the practice of law. Together, they built the firm by taking care of its people and delivering professional levels of service to clients, all the while anchored to the tenets of justice and dedication.
