Singapore law firm Oon & Bazul makes rare appointment of non-lawyer as equity partner
Singapore
IN A rare move made within the legal circle, Singapore law firm Oon & Bazul has appointed its business development head, Abdul Malik Anwar Deen, as an equity partner.
Law firms are typically owned by senior lawyers, also called equity partners, who are responsible for generating the firm's revenue and entitled to a share of the profits. Non-lawyers typically do not take on this role, with the exception of some patent attorneys and economists, even though regulations in Singapore allow for it.
