Malaysia's RDS maintains its expansion with the addition of two new alliances
RDS Partnership, a leading law firm in Malaysia, has strengthened its corporate and infrastructure practices with the strategic appointments of Hurriyyah Kamaruzzaman and Sharifah Sazita. These appointments are aimed at deepening the firm's capabilities, allowing it to better serve clients in areas such as corporate law, infrastructure development, energy projects, utilities, and related regulatory environments.
Hurriyyah Kamaruzzaman, with a decade of experience in corporate, commercial, and real estate transactions, will be focusing on the ordinary acquisition and disposal of business assets, as well as complex procurement activities and concession and framework arrangements with various governmental agencies and ministries.
On the other hand, Sharifah Sazita brings over 30 years of experience in project advisory, focusing on public-private partnerships, energy, infrastructure, utilities, and public policy. She will head RDS Partnership's Middle East desk and advise clients from the Middle East on projects and investments in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region. Sharifah's professional history includes working at law firms in Malaysia, Qatar, and the Middle East, including Bennett Jones, Al Tamimi & Company, Foong & Partners, Azmi & Associates, and most recently, Whitepencil.
In addition to these appointments, RDS Partnership has also added five other partners to its team in February and Teo Siang Ly, a banking expert, from Christopher & Lee Ong in April this year. As a result of these appointments, RDS Partnership now has 26 partners.
These strategic appointments are part of the firm's expansion in corporate and infrastructure practices. By leveraging the extensive track records and expertise of Hurriyyah Kamaruzzaman and Sharifah Sazita in infrastructure and corporate law, the partnership aims to expand its footprint and enhance its advisory services.
The value of such experienced individuals in the expansion of law firms is illustrated by leaders like Amin Abdul Majid who have advised on energy and infrastructure projects for nearly 20 years. As more detailed biographies or descriptions of their expertise at RDS Partnership become available, these would further clarify how their leadership directly facilitates the expansion of the firm’s corporate and infrastructure practices.
Hurriyyah Kamaruzzaman, with her expertise in corporate, commercial, and real estate transactions, will consult on the finance aspects of business asset acquisitions and disposals, as well as complex procurement activities involving governmental agencies.
Sharifah Sazita, with her extensive experience in project advisory, will leverage her knowledge in public-private partnerships, energy, infrastructure, and utilities to provide legal advice on Middle East investments in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region, also expanding the firm's finance and business connections in these regions.
