VAC profile: Hui Wen Tan (Bachelor of Laws)
Hui Wen came to the University in 2009 to read law. After completing her Bachelor of Laws, she returned home to Malaysia to launch her career.
“Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant city life and growth as an alternative
dispute resolution hub in Asia, coupled with rapid development in Malaysia pulled me back for legal practice,” Hui Wen says.
Hui Wen is currently a Senior Associate at Skrine, a top-tier law firm, where she specialises in land acquisition and valuation disputes, commercial disputes, and aviation. She has advised and acted for State Authorities, government-linked companies and private sector firms from industries as diverse as oil & gas, aviation, infrastructure, insurance, F&B and real estate.
“As an advocate and solicitor, I am involved in every stage of a lawsuit from drafting cause papers and submissions to attending trials and hearings,” she explains. “I love developing case strategies and collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds. It is most fulfilling when the hard work pays off!”
Hui Wen presently serves as ICC YAF Regional Representative for South Asia (2019 – 2021) at the International Chamber of Commerce Young Arbitrators Forum, Co-Secretary General of the Kuala Lumpur Bar Young Lawyers Committee, Head of Editorial & Publication in the Bar Council Legal Aid Centre (Kuala Lumpur)'s Management Panel, and Fellow at LawTech Malaysia.
Outside of the legal profession and alternative dispute resolution
community, Hui Wen is passionate about youth empowerment. She coaches university students in mooting competitions and assists students from refugee backgrounds with public speaking and debating.
Hui Wen is also no stranger to the sports field. She once competed
at an international dragon boating championship in Hong Kong, dressed as the Mad Hatter in the middle of summer. Unsurprisingly, her team emerged victorious!
Hui Wen would love to hear from alumni based in Malaysia. She is
happy to talk to anyone interested in moving to Kuala Lumpur, pursuing a career in the legal profession, or keen on working together on community-based events and initiatives.
