COME Nov 11, Zico Holdings, a firm that rides on the brand of famed law firm Zaid Ibrahim & Co or Zico that began atop a bicycle shop in Kuala Lumpur in the late 1980s and built a respectful reach across Asean from its regional office in Singapore, will make its debut on Singapore Exchange's (SGX) Catalist.
It would have been an even more compelling story if the law firm was being listed, but the rules don't allow it - not yet at least. Most jurisdictions, including Singapore and except for Australia and the UK, bar non-lawyers from owning law firms, which also effectively rules out the flotation of law firms.
