Ranking among Malaysia’s most dominant dispute resolution practices, Cecil Abraham And Partners stands out for its ‘mix of erudite and pragmatism’. The firm draws from its ample experience to litigate at all levels of national court, ranging from investment treaty disputes, contractual and environmental claims, defamation allegations. Instructed by Fortune 500 companies, leading corporations, and high-net-worth individuals, the group works across the financial, investment, and hospitality industries. Industry veteran Cecil Abraham, who clients praise for being an ’excellent advocate’, regularly handles landmark cases and international commercial arbitration. Rishwant Singh concentrates on commercial and civil disputes, and ‘sharp litigator’ Sunil Abraham handles banking and corporate claims, in addition to land acquisition proceedings. Aniz Ahmad Amirudin is reputed for his ’in-depth industry knowledge’, particularly in the construction and infrastructure spaces, while Noor Muzalifah Binti Shabudin focuses on fraud litigation, libel claims, and media disputes. All above named individuals collectively lead the department. Shabana Farhaana Amirudin and Mohd Irwan bin Ismail are recommended for their work in high-value adjudication claims.
