Singapore-based commercial law firm Joyce A. Tan & Partners has strengthened its intellectual property and TMT practice with the addition of industry veteran Jim Lim, who joins as counsel. Lim, with a career spanning four decades, previously led the IP and technology practice at Withers KhattarWong.
Jeffrey Lim, the Singaporean firm’s co-managing director, told Asia Business Law Journal that he anticipated that Jim Lim would help the firm to deepen its reach and influence across multiple practice areas and to augment its capabilities in the IP and TMT space.
“Jim’s role will be to serve clients and their business needs on special projects and in fortifying our practices with great expertise”, said Jeffrey Lim.
Jim Lim, who was admitted to the Singapore Bar in 1985, joined Singaporean law firm KhattarWong in 2011, which was eight years before it was combined with UK law firm Withers Worldwide to form a fully integrated outfit.
With a career spanning 40 years, Lim specializes in IP matters and TMT transactions, covering traditional areas such as copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as IP-related fields like IT, employment, media, and entertainment law. The Singapore-based veteran in IP and TMT also handles acquisitions, joint ventures, and technology transfer issues.
