Practice

Construction & Engineering

We advise on construction and engineering matters involving major developments in Malaysia, including infrastructure, energy, and data centre projects that align with the country’s economic growth and transformation goals.

Building Strong Legal Foundations for Growth

The Malaysian construction industry has grown rapidly over the last decade, driven by major infrastructure, domestic development, and mega projects such as Merdeka 118. With new economic blueprints like the New Energy Transition Roadmap and a growing data centre industry, the sector is set for continued expansion.

Our team handles both contentious and non-contentious matters for complex, high-value building and development projects in Malaysia and internationally. We work closely with developers, contractors, architects, and consultants to resolve disputes and structure projects across commercial and residential developments, infrastructure, power plants, and utilities.

Our regional advantage

Our team is well-versed in the rules and procedures of key arbitration institutions including AIAC, SIAC, PAM, ICC, and IEM, as well as ad hoc arbitration processes. We also have experience representing clients in arbitration award challenges before Malaysian courts.

We advise across ASEAN and collaborate with foreign law firms to ensure that cross-border construction and engineering projects are structured effectively and disputes are resolved efficiently.
