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.

Skrine & Co. became simply known as Skrine on 1 January 2000.

Today, the firm is one of the largest legal firms in the country with a range of practice groups to meet the specialised needs of our clients. We remain steadfast in our commitment to the development of legal minds and the improvement of the community in which we live.
