Attention All,
We would like to update you on the suspension of Ms. K. Manickam, which resulted was an error of judgement, the result of a lapse of caution during her assistance to two senior clients amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. At their request, Ms. Manickam facilitated document execution for conveyancing matters without her physical presence.
Regrettably, complications arose when one of the clients, who had previously deceived her brother out of a substantial sum, reneged on her promise to repay him upon the sale of a jointly owned apartment. She subsequently used Ms. Manickam as leverage to retrieve the funds. Despite the pressure, Ms. Manickam chose to face the consequences of her misjudgment bravely.
During Ms. Manickam’s absence, our firm continues to operate smoothly. Madam Seetha LKSK has stepped in, and we have enlisted the assistance of several senior lawyers from other firms. We deeply appreciate your support during this challenging period.
Please be assured that we remain committed to providing the highest quality legal services. We will continue to serve you diligently until Ms. Manickam returns with her Practicing Certificate in April 2025.
Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our firm.
