"It's nice to see Singapore business owners getting excited about IP and wanting to learn more about how to use IP as a value driver of their business. My team and I work hard to help our clients' achieve business success. Our clients' successful registration of IP rights and commercialising of IP assets are our successes too." - Renee

Renee founded the firm with the vision to complement the provision of quality legal advice in the area of IP with valuable input on using IP to enhance business growth. Renee, as a business owner herself, knows the ups and downs of running a business and what other business owners find in her is the enthusiasm that drives her to constantly search for innovative ways to grow businesses. Even now, after 12 years of being in the business, Renee gets thrilled when her clients are guided to arrive at the Eureka moment when they begin to see IP as a valuable asset to develop their businesses to reach greater heights. It is of paramount importance to her that her clients are fully satisfied with the firm's service and to that end, she stresses to her colleagues to make themselves and IP accessible to the clients. Indeed, IP is not just a business for Renee; it is a passion that she further cultivates through writing regular articles, speaking on IP law at Singapore and International events and through participating in committee work at various International IP Associations.

I want our clients to focus on the important things and not get caught up trying to make sense of legal expressions. At the end, what is important is to make the process of understanding IP easy and not time consuming. This way our clients can focus on what’s important to them." - Haziqah

"From my 6 months Relevant Legal Training with Alpha & Omega Law Corporation, I have understood that in order to be a good IP practitioner a lot of ground work has to be done and the planning for the client starts with a good filing in order to maximize right for IP enforcement. Whatever that is submitted during the prosecution stage of an application could have repercussions during the enforcement stage. I have also understood that there are also various trade mark enforcement strategies that are equally important when a client expands its IP into other countries and jurisdiction. Apart from having good counterpart associates in other jurisdictions, we as IP practitioners should also equip ourselves with the iP knowledge of other jurisdiction to share with our clients. My personal goal during my next 6 month practice training with the firm is to gain that expertise which would bring benefit to our firm and our clients." - Lee Kwok Loong
