Hussein Akhtar Sathiswaranji & Co. acts for individuals, businesses and institutions across litigation, arbitration, conveyancing and family matters. You deal with a partner, not a queue.
From the courtroom to the closing table, the firm handles both contentious and non-contentious work for individuals, businesses and institutions. A selection of what we take on:
A Petaling Jaya practice built on personal service: you deal with a partner, not a queue, and the work is backed by professional indemnity insurance.
The partners lean on experienced mentors and a network of affiliated firms, which lets a small practice take on matters well beyond its size. Three things guide the work: professionalism, effectiveness, and a solution the client can actually use.

For most property purchases in Malaysia the sale and purchase agreement, the transfer (Memorandum of Transfer) and any loan documents are drawn up by an advocate & solicitor. A conveyancing lawyer checks that the title is clean, protects your deposit and handles stamping and registration at the land office. Our firm handles conveyancing and real estate work in Petaling Jaya and across Selangor.
An employee dismissed without just cause or excuse can file a representation for reinstatement with the Industrial Relations Department, generally within 60 days of the dismissal, under section 20 of the Industrial Relations Act 1967. A dismissal that ignores the notice period in your contract can also be pursued as wrongful dismissal in the civil courts. The right remedy depends on your contract and the facts, so it is worth getting advice early.
Malaysia has no single tenancy statute, so the written agreement itself governs the relationship. A sound tenancy agreement names the parties and the property, and sets out the rent and deposit, the term and any renewal, each side's obligations for repairs and utilities, and the grounds for termination. It should be stamped at LHDN (the Inland Revenue Board) so it is admissible in court.
Companies are registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) under the Companies Act 2016. A private limited company (Sdn Bhd) can be incorporated through SSM's MyCoID portal, with at least one director ordinarily resident in Malaysia and a company secretary appointed within 30 days of incorporation. We can advise on the structure, the shareholders' agreement and your ongoing compliance obligations.
In Peninsular Malaysia the legal profession is fused: a qualified lawyer is admitted as an “Advocate & Solicitor” under the Legal Profession Act 1976 and may both advise clients and represent them in court. So the same lawyer can draft your documents and appear on your behalf, unlike jurisdictions that split the two roles.
Up to a point. Consultations with a partner are held in person at our Petaling Jaya office, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, so you will need to come in for advice on your own matter. This site also has an AI assistant that can give you a plain-language explanation of your situation beforehand, but it gives general information only and is not a substitute for that advice.
Alongside the firm’s work, this site runs an AI assistant that explains general points of Malaysian law in plain language. It is somewhere to begin before you call, not a replacement for advice from a partner who has seen your documents.
