‘The M&A team, especially Marhaini's team, really puts in a lot of effort to deliver what her client wants, with a lot of emphasis on the quality of the deliverables. One of the unique features of this team is, even though the transaction is completed, she is willing to be contacted if there is any question relating to the transaction from time to time.’
‘Marhaini Nordin – attentive and will try her best to find ways to get what the client wants. She is also knowledgeable on government-related concession contracts, which is a plus point for her, especially in dealing with government contracts.'
