With regard to Islamic Banking and Finance, the Firm has ample experience in the preparation of Islamic financing legal documentation. In the early 80’s we assisted Bank Islam in the development of Islamic security instruments from the basics to the more complex documents. Over the years, we assisted other banking institutions like Malayan Banking Berhad, Bank Bumiputra Malaysia Berhad (as it was then known), Affin Bank Berhad in the development of similar instruments as they started to introduce Islamic Banking. Recently, we have also been involved in helping RHB Islamic Bank Berhad making comparative studies of Islamic Banking in other Muslim countries and along the way assisted them in developing concepts and instruments which are deemed more compliant with Shariah requirements. The Firm is also well-versed in the preparation of syndicated Islamic financing between local and foreign banks.

The scope of works under Islamic Financing documentation handled by Our Firm include among others, Bai Bithaman Ajil Asset Financing, Bai Inah, Bai Dayn, Ijarah, Bai Istisna’, Kafalah, Mudharabah, Murabahah, Bai Musyarakah, Wakalah, Sukuk and other Islamic products.

Recently the Firm, in conjunction with CIMB Bank Berhad received an award from Islamic Finance Asia under the “Best Service Providers Poll 2010” category for Malaysia for structuring “Trade Finance Deal of the Year – Proton Perodua RM300 Million Trade Program”.
