We regularly act for leading financial institutions, agents and trustees for syndicated lenders and holders of debt instruments and regulators on their compliance obligation, as well as the management and avoidance of legal risk.

The team is often involved in heavily contested matters at all tiers of the Malaysian courts, some of which have resulted in landmark decisions. Our expertise includes the recovery of conventional and Islamic debt facilities, guarantees, letters of credit, performance bonds, fraud, money laundering and financial regulatory issues.
