Where strategic counsel meets operational realities.
Paradigm Consulting Group is the culmination of over two decades of legal and governance leadership in the construction, infrastructure and energy sectors across Asia Pacific.
Founded by the former Head of Legal, Compliance Officer and Executive Director with a decade of C-Suite participation across all operations in Asia for the construction division of a Fortune Global 500 conglomerate, Paradigm brings a wealth of experience delivering and implementing counsel shaped by accountability for real-world outcomes, not consultancy theory.
Our expertise has been forged in the boardroom and tested on construction sites across Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Myanmar, India, China and beyond – navigating complex regulatory environments, high-stakes crisis, transformational growth opportunities - bridging the gap between parent level strategies with local operational realities.
Paradigm Consulting Group is founded on the principle that enduring success is built through partnership, integrity, and practical wisdom.
Whether advising on record-breaking infrastructure projects, building award-winning teams, or navigating moments of crisis, our commitment is to walk alongside clients, offering counsel grounded in real-world experience, delivered with empathy, candour, and respect.
OUR VALUE IS NOT JUST IN WHAT WE KNOW, BUT IN WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

EXPERIENCE THAT DELIVERS RESULTS.
At Paradigm, we believe the most valuable counsel comes from those who have been accountable for the outcomes of their advice.
First-hand responsibility for implementation and real-world consequences provides a depth of perspective and practical insight that cannot be matched by those whose involvement ends at recommendations.
The leadership behind Paradigm Consulting Group has been entrusted with responsibilities that demanded not only technical expertise but also the courage to lead through uncertainty, the humility to listen, and the resolve to see decisions through to their ultimate conclusions.
The difference between theoretical advice and practical wisdom lies in accountability.
At Paradigm, our counsel is informed by decades of responsibility for outcomes.
