What Clients think of the team

We are very pleased with the work and assistance provided by the construction team comprising of Balan, Naveen and Deborah in dealing with our construction disputes. Very attentive and proactive in handling our files along with pragmatic and out of the box approaches. This convinced us to refer our property management dispute matters to them as well and it was one of the better decisions made by the legal team.

Sheer dedication and passion are the words that I would use to describe LBC. I have the pleasure of working with Lavinia Kumaraendran personally, who is an articulate person and the epitome of excellence when it comes to her profession. She is ably assisted by her fellow colleagues Mavinthra and Avinash. Together they form a formidable team who is able to provide robust solutions. What is most impressive about them is their keen attention to detail and eagerness to gain equitable access to the justice system for their clients. There are no stones unturned. Their knowledge on the law is phenomenal and their competence surpasses any firm that I have dealt with before. A law firm driven by compassion whilst maintaining a strong sense of Professionalism, Ethics & Integrity.
