Speaker

Dee Wei is a partner of Choo Dee Wei. A member of Lincoln’s Inn in the United Kingdom, he was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2005. He was subsequently admitted as an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in 2007. On 1 July 2020, the firm Choo Dee Wei was established. Currently in his 18th year of practice in the litigation ecosystem, he has seen his fair share (and at times more) of cases, ranging from the straightforward to the unusual, where the area of defamation is a prime example of his experience.
