JTJB was established in 1988 and has become one of the country's leading shipping practices. "When people in major shipping centres around the world mention the top Singapore shipping firms," says Benny, "our objective has always been to be one of them. And we've achieved that ... to a certain extent." Benny heads JTJB's admiralty and shipping practice, along with Danny Chua. The former received his 'Dato' title from the Sultan of Pahang for his many celebrated cases for the Malaysian government. The latter migrated from Khattar Wong & Partners with his team in September 1999. The arrival of Danny Chua and his team (including Mohd Goush Marikan who was a merchant navy officers as well as a qualified lawyer) was quite a coup and a major factor in the growth of the practice. With 15 lawyers, JTJB's shipping practice is one of the largest in Singapore and is hoping to expand further this year. JTJB has been involved in high-profile maritime cases such as the Seismic Ship collision off China, the sinking of the Calypso in Singapore, and has represented the Crown Price of Abu Dhabi. JTJB also handled the first ship collision trial to be heard locally for 40 years (Ming Galaxy / Herci Novi).
