Corporate & Commercial
What We Do
Our Corporate and Commercial practice advises companies, shareholders, and business owners on a wide range of corporate and commercial matters across multiple industries. We act on the structuring, negotiation, and documentation of commercial arrangements, including joint ventures, distributorships and dealerships, licensing and franchising arrangements, supply and services agreements, and other collaboration and consortium structures.
Our work supports businesses at various stages of their lifecycle, from establishment and expansion to restructuring and ongoing operations. We focus on providing clear, commercially grounded advice that addresses legal risk while supporting our clients’ long‑term strategic objectives. The practice combines technical legal expertise with practical commercial insight to deliver solutions that are workable, sustainable, and aligned with the realities of operating in Malaysia’s evolving business environment.
