Our litigation team is often asked to advise on strategy for handling disputes. We believe that in most cases, litigation should be a means of last resort.

“Seum has been absolutely amazing to work with. They are very responsive, thorough, and most importantly awesome at what they do. As we do not have an in-house counsel, Seum advises us on all legal matters we come across from re-drafting of our user agreements, privacy policies, employment contracts/issues, partnership contracts to copyrights. They set clear expectations on what can be done by when, and will completely things urgently if necessary. We fully trust the quality of the legal advice we receive and they will point out areas of law where we need to be mindful. I do not actually have any weaknesses to point out for Seum. I could not be any happier for the services we get from Seum. I have had Seum on retainer basis for the last two years and have no plans on changing.” - Client Review (AsiaLaw Profiles)
