Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Corporate, Property & Commercial Advisory
LLB (Hons), MMU, First Class
William Lim Wei Loon is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of William, Florence & Partners. His practice covers corporate and commercial advisory, property transactions, banking and finance, and commercial agreements.
He has handled high-value property transactions, including hotel assets of about RM17 million and residential transactions of about RM23 million, together with the tax and compliance issues around them, such as RPGT and CKHT.
A Lawyer Who Builds Legal Tech
William is a lawyer who also writes code. He designs and programs the firm’s legal tech systems himself, and built the first version of the firm’s website and its online legal fee calculator. He holds the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate.
Handling a large number of conveyancing and bank loan files himself, William saw the same details retyped and the same checks repeated on every file. So he built the firm’s own systems:
a) Conveyancing System: every conveyancing case, including bank loan documentation. Details are keyed in once, all documents are generated, and alerts flag due diligence checks and deadlines.
b) Quotation System: legal fees, stamp duty and disbursements worked out the same way every time.
c) Litigation System: court papers, dates and reminders for every case, from debt recovery to bankruptcy.
His background in both law and technology lets him see legal work as a system: find the repetitive steps and risks, then fix them through better documents, workflow and technology.
Property Transactions and CKHT
With CKHT now on self-assessment, a wrong figure or a missed check falls on the seller and buyer. William’s systems work through quotation, due diligence and CKHT step by step, with the 60-day deadline tracked, before anything is submitted.
What to Expect When You Work With William
1. Full cost upfront: legal fees, stamp duty and disbursements worked out before you commit.
2. Checked before anything moves: title, encumbrances, existing loans and every party verified before documents are prepared.
3. Deadlines kept in view: stamp duty, CKHT, land office presentation and charge lodgement tracked file by file.
4. Same standard at every branch: Larkin, Southkey and Skudai follow the same steps, even when staff change.
Background
William did poorly in primary school, but through persistence he earned a scholarship and graduated with a First Class law degree. He was called to the Malaysian Bar in 2011 and spent a short period in estate planning with a public trust company in Singapore before returning to practice in Malaysia. His motto: live life with grit.
