Messrs Wan Haron & Associates (formerly known as Messrs Wan Haron Sukri & Nordin, Klang Valley branches) is an established law firm having been in existence for over 25 years. It was first set-up in 1984 by three (3) close friends, Mr Wan Haron Wan Hassan, Dato Sukri Hj Mohamad and Mr Mohamad Nordin Nor. Over the years the Firm expanded from one (1) branch in Kota Bharu, Kelantan to add three (3) other establishments in the Klang Valley namely the Bangsar, Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya branches. From its inception in 1988, Klang Valley branches branches were all the while helmed by Mr Wan Haron while Dato Sukri and Mr Nordin continued to take care of the Kota Bharu branch. In 2010, Ms Aliza Hilyati who has been in legal practice for 10 years and who has been with the Firm for more than 6 years, was admitted as a partner to help manage the Klang Valley branches together with Mr Wan Haron.
Sometime in late 2010, after much thought and deliberation, the four (4) partners decided to reorganise the Firm by splitting it into two separate units. The reorganisation was deemed necessary in cognisance of the fact that it is time to prepare for a succession plan by admitting new second generation partners to bring the Firm to greater heights of achievements and to face new challenges in the next millennium. Under the terms of the agreement between the four (4) partners which is effective from the 1st of March 2011, all the Klang Valley branches will be inherited by Mr Wan Haron and Ms Aliza, operating under the name and style of Messrs Wan Haron & Associates while Dato Sukri and Mr Nordin will inherit the Kota Bharu branch under such name and style they think appropriate under the circumstances.
The reorganisation is also very much in line with the Klang Valley partners’ vision to see the Firm developed into a boutique law firm specialising in niche areas of corporate and banking law with particular emphasis in Islamic banking. The said vision entails not only an emphasis in the said niche practice areas but also calls for a set-up with stricter management supervision and control to ensure that the standard of work and service will measure up to the most stringent of expectations. It is with this in mind that all Klang Valley branches are now merged under one roof at our own 8000 square feet corporate office in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
The Firm emphasises on teamwork, continuous client/solicitor communications and timely responses. Each case/assignment is led by either one of the Partners or a Senior Associate together with a member of the Firm selected with reference to the complexity of the subject matter in issue. The Firm prides itself in the providing of quality legal services with client-centred and result-oriented approach and is committed to the highest standards and complying with the best practices and ethics. The Firm's organisational structure is uniquely flexible and is designed to meet the specific needs of clients at any one time while at the same time foster close personal and professional relationships. Our lawyers and staff continuously update their knowledge and legal skills to keep abreast with the latest developments in laws, culture and business practices to enable us to better understand our clients’ needs and providing creative solutions to them.
The Firm is covered with a Professional Indemnity Insurance of RM 10.0 million.
