RSM Corporate Advisory (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd

Our energetic and enterprising legal practice was established in April 2006 by our founding partners, Ms Cyndi Chow Li Kian and Ms Josephine Ng Bee Leng. The vision was to create an enduring practice that is able to provide good quality bespoke legal services to clients at an affordable investment.

Our firm now has five partners, each specialising in particular areas of the law, who collectively uphold a common “big picture” ideal for our firm and the work that we do. As a boutique full service law firm with a small, close knit and expanding team, we pride ourselves on the personalised service and attention that our partners are still able to provide to each client. Our culture and working environment encourages both professional and personal growth, fosters sharing, collaboration and a strong spirit of community. Our lawyers and support staff are inspired to identify unique ways in which they can add value to the firm and to our clients. This has enabled us to grow steadily, as well as to attract, recruit and retain good legal talent.

We care about your welfare and consider your best interests as we immerse ourselves in your causes and cases, taking time to carefully understand each circumstance and context. We do this in order to offer you sound, strategic and bespoke professional advice that will enable you to meet your needs, expectations and intentions.

We provide legal advisory and consultancy services in diverse areas of the law, including but not limited to dispute resolution, real estate, intellectual property (IP), employment law and industrial relations, corporate law, commercial law, construction law, family law, probates and administration of estates, and property management. Above all, our primary focus is to deliver practical solutions to our clients, whatever the legal area or issue may be.

We continue to prize the close relationships we have built over the years with the clients that we work with. Many of them have grown and continue to grow their businesses and assets with us.

Since our inception, we have served and delivered legal solutions to more than 2,000 clients. Our clients include established and reputable private individuals and investors (both foreign and local), private limited companies, multinational companies and foreign governmental organisations coming from the regions of South East Asia, the larger Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States.

Many of these clients operate diversified businesses. Through them, we have developed a deeper understanding of the business and legal cultures of the wide range of industries that they operate within such as the manufacturing, automobile, building and construction, computer software and programming, banking and finance, tourism and travel, food and entertainment, information technology, property development and management, insurance, shipping, security systems and education industries.
