Senior Counsel

Mahadi graduated from the University of London with a LL.B. (Hons) degree in 1994 and completed his Certificate in Legal Practice in 2010. Prior to that, he graduated from Brandeis University, USA with a Bachelor of Arts (Economics) degree in 1976. After graduation, he worked for commercial and investment banks and completed his Diploma in Banking from the Institute of Bankers, London in 1981. He was in the service of PETRONAS, the national petroleum company of Malaysia, for 33 years and has broad experience in both the legal and commercial aspects of the Malaysian and international oil and gas industry, having held positions in the international marketing, corporate planning, oil downstream planning and legal services divisions of PETRONAS. Mahadi gained management insights and perspectives on, inter alia, corporate governance, dispute resolution, project management, and the operations and maintenance of oil and gas assets whilst being the Company Secretary/Legal Advisor of PETRONAS Gas Berhad, a Malaysian public-listed company and later the PETRONAS shareholder nominee Director of Dragon LNG Ltd, a United Kingdom joint venture company which owns and operates a LNG regasification terminal in Milford Haven, Wales. Resulting from his engagement in many oil and gas projects and also business issues during his employment with PETRONAS, he is familiar with the challenges faced by the oil and gas industry working within the regulatory framework of both domestic and international jurisdictions. Recognising that the oil and gas industry is only part of the energy supply system which is transforming very rapidly, he has a keen interest in the evolving development of new energy resources and the programmed energy transformation in all economic sectors, principally in the context of the need for the long-term sustainable economic development of Malaysia.
