Christopher & Lee Ong (CLO), a member firm of Rajah & Tann Asia, has appointed distinguished legal professionals Robert Lazar and Saheran Suhendran as Consultants, effective July 1, 2026.
Their appointments mark another milestone in strengthening the firm’s capabilities across disputes, advisory and the resolution of complex litigation matters, underscoring its ongoing commitment to legal excellence and to delivering client-centric commercial solutions.
Widely recognised for his expertise in civil and commercial litigation and with over four decades of experience acting in landmark cases before Malaysia’s superior courts, Robert Lazar brings incisive advocacy and strategic insight that adds significant depth to the firm’s litigation and advisory practice.
Until recently a Judicial Commissioner at the Kuala Lumpur High Court, Saheran Suhendran @ Sockanathan Abdullah brings extensive legal experience, particularly in restructuring and insolvency. He was in active legal practice for almost 40 years until being elevated to the High Court. He retired from the bench in early May 2026.
With these appointments, the firm continues to reinforce its position as a leading disputes practice, offering clients access to seasoned legal practitioners with deep insight into both advocacy and the judicial process. Their presence expands the firm’s ability to manage intricate proceedings, and deliver commercially-focused outcomes.
Beyond strengthening disputes capabilities, these appointments also reflect the firm’s continued commitment to providing top quality legal services, while broadening the expertise available to clients in Malaysia and across the region.
