Islamic Finance
What We Do
Our Islamic Finance practice advises financial institutions, corporates, and investors on Shariah‑compliant financing transactions across a range of asset classes and structures. We provide legal advice grounded in a detailed understanding of Shariah principles, coupled with Malaysia’s regulatory and legal framework governing Islamic finance.
Our experience includes advising on the structuring and documentation of Islamic financing products, supporting the establishment and offering of Shariah‑compliant financial solutions, and addressing Shariah standards and compliance considerations. We regularly work with local and international financial institutions and collaborate closely with Shariah advisers to ensure that transactions are compliant, enforceable, and commercially viable. The practice maintains a practical, solutions‑oriented approach, enabling clients to achieve their objectives while adhering to Islamic law and prevailing regulatory requirements.
How We Can Assist You
We advise clients on the structuring, documentation, and implementation of Shariah‑compliant financing transactions, from product development through to execution. Our work includes drafting and reviewing Islamic financing agreements, preparing and refining standardised documentation and templates, and advising on regulatory and Shariah compliance matters.
We support clients in navigating approval processes, regulatory developments, and cross‑border considerations connected with Islamic finance transactions. By working closely with Shariah advisers and other professional consultants, we help clients manage compliance risks while maintaining flexibility and commercial effectiveness. Throughout each engagement, we provide clear, practical advice that aligns Shariah requirements with legal enforceability and transactional objectives, supporting clients in implementing Islamic finance solutions within evolving market and regulatory conditions.
