Partner firms in around 70 countries – one point of contact in Malaysia
Network
Cross-border matters rarely stop at one border.
When yours doesn’t, we bring in lawyers we know and have worked with – through our networks and partner firms in around 70 countries – and we stay your point of contact while they do.
Every firm in these networks is independent. We are not a branch of an international firm, and each firm is engaged and responsible for its own advice.
Malaysian companies going abroad
We connect you with vetted local counsel in the country you are entering, brief them on your matter and stay involved, so the advice you get abroad fits what you do at home.
For Malaysian CompaniesForeign companies in Malaysia
If your matter has a second jurisdiction – the parent company’s home country, a supplier in a third country – we coordinate counsel there, so you are not managing two firms who have never spoken.
For Foreign CompaniesLaw firms
If you are a network member or a foreign law firm with a client in Malaysia, see how we work with referring lawyers.

IBC
International Business Community
We are the Local Coordinator for Malaysia of the IBC, a network connecting internationally active companies – mainly from Italy – with local partners in their target markets. For IBC members, we are the first point of contact for doing business in Malaysia.
Institutional relationships
We work closely with the institutions that support foreign business in Malaysia:

Austrian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur – formally appointed legal advisor
(Vertrauensanwalt)
- 02
AHK Malaysia
(Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry)
- 03
KoCham Malaysia

Our EU base in Vienna
Our Senior Foreign Advisor, Dr. Harald Sippel, also maintains his own law practice in Vienna. For Malaysian companies facing an EU counterparty, regulator or court, that means EU-admitted counsel on the matter from the start, rather than an introduction to a firm you have never met.
