About Richard

Richard is the Co-Founder and Principal Partner of Wong Partnership. His professional journey with Kar Ling spans from his earliest days in practice — a strong foundation that now defines the firm’s dynamic and results-driven leadership.
During his time as a pupil-in-chamber, Richard worked closely with Kar Ling, building a strong professional relationship from the very beginning of his legal career. This formative period shaped not only their professional discipline and shared standards of excellence, but also a strong mutual trust and strategic alignment.
Today, having ventured into legal practice together as co-founders, their long-standing professional partnership brings a distinctive synergy to the firm. Their professional synergy brings a dynamic that blends experience, growth, shared resilience and entrepreneurial drive — bringing energy, cohesion and strategic clarity to Wong Partnership’s leadership.
Richard is also particularly skilled in civil litigation, offering strategic solutions and negotiation skills. He is also actively involved in disposal, acquisition and leasingtransactions for both residential and commercial properties, acting for individuals and corporations.
At Wong Partnership, Richard’s focus remains on providing top-tier legal services to clients involved in conveyancing and property-related matters. He understands the importance of taking a collaborative approach to his work, and he is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that his clients are fully informed and engaged throughout the legal process.
His pragmatic approach ensures smooth progress in every transaction and helps clients minimise legal risks while achieving business objectives. Having worked at an ALB Award-winning and shortlisted firm together with Kar Ling, he is also known for his sharp legal mind, commercial acumen and practical solutions.
Beyond legal practice, Richard also represents Malaysia in an international pageantry competition due to his award as a Mister Cosmopolitan. His involvement in international pageantry reflects his discipline, confidence and commitment to personal growth and values he brings to his work at Wong Partnership.
