• Assisting with MIDA license applications (MITI License) and securing the No-Objection Letter (NOL) from the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) where required

• Advising on Malaysia’s investment incentives, tax benefits, and manufacturing licenses

For PRC clients already operating in Malaysia, we provide ongoing legal advisory and compliance support, including:

• Compliance with Malaysian labour laws, employment regulations, and industrial relations legislation

• Guidance on expatriate employment passes, work permits, and immigration requirements

• Drafting and reviewing commercial contracts, supply agreements, joint venture agreements, and lease agreements

• Handling commercial dispute resolution, arbitration, and litigation in Malaysia

• Advising on corporate governance, intellectual property protection, trademark registration, and regulatory compliance under Malaysian law

• Supporting cross-border transactions between Malaysia and China, including international trade agreements

Our goal is to ensure a smooth, compliant, and successful business presence for Chinese investors in Malaysia, enabling them to navigate Malaysian laws, regulations, and business practices with confidence.
