Krishnamurthy Lim
Director, Shah Alam
"We engaged Wibawa Law to advise on the sale of a forty-percent stake in our distribution business. Ahmad Razif was clear from the outset about what the engagement would cover, what the fee would be, and what we would receive at the end. There were no surprises. The shareholder agreement was well-drafted and the purchaser's lawyers had very few questions about it."

Zulaikha binti Azmi
Businesswoman, Subang Jaya
"My father passed away without a clear will, and the estate has been complicated to administer. I came to Wibawa Law to make sure that my own affairs were in order. Norzaharah took the time to understand our family's specific situation before recommending what instruments were appropriate. The will and hibah documentation she prepared are thorough and clearly executed."

Rajendran Thambipillai
CFO, Klang
"We used the Half-Day Advisory Conference to work through a joint-venture structure before committing to a full engagement. It was a useful format — four hours gave us enough time to examine the question properly, and the written note summarised the discussion accurately. The turnaround could have been slightly faster, but the substance of the advice was sound."

Siti Suriani Mohamad
Managing Director, Petaling Jaya
"Our auditors referred us to Wibawa Law when we needed a shareholder agreement revised ahead of a new investor coming in. The engagement was straightforward — Ahmad Razif identified three clauses that needed attention, revised them, and explained why each change mattered. We completed the round without any legal delays."

Fadzillah bin Nordin
Family Business Principal, Selangor
"The succession work for our family business took about ten weeks in total — longer than I had initially anticipated, but looking back the time was used well. Norzaharah prepared a family governance document and a set of wills that the family reviewed together. The process of reviewing them together was itself useful; it surfaced a couple of disagreements that are now resolved."

Wong Yee Lin
Chartered Accountant, KL
"I refer clients to Wibawa Law when their affairs have reached the point where a structured legal review is warranted. The firm handles referrals professionally — they keep me informed at the appropriate level without overstepping, and my clients have consistently come back satisfied with the advice they received. The engagement letter model is one I recommend to the firms I work with as a standard to aspire to."

Case Studies
Corporate Advisory · Eight-Week Engagement
The Situation
A Selangor-registered manufacturer, family-owned across two generations, was preparing to transfer operational control to the founder's two adult children while the founder retained a minority shareholding. The existing constitutional documents were outdated and did not address the governance arrangements between the siblings.
What the Firm Did
Wibawa Law reviewed and revised the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, prepared a shareholders' agreement between the three parties, and advised on the share transfer mechanism. The engagement letter set a fixed fee for the constitutional work and a capped fee for the transactional documentation.
The Outcome
The transfer was completed within eight weeks of the engagement commencing. All parties received executed copies of the shareholders' agreement. The governance provisions have remained in operation for over a year without requiring amendment.
"The fee was agreed at the start and it was the fee we paid. For a family matter of this kind, that predictability mattered as much as the legal quality."
Family Office & Succession · Twelve-Week Engagement
The Situation
A principal in his late fifties held a mix of business interests, residential property, and financial instruments across family and personal accounts. He wished to ensure that distribution on death would reflect his intentions precisely, taking into account both the faraid rules applicable to his Muslim estate and the civil law applicable to his non-Islamic assets.
What the Firm Did
Norzaharah prepared a structural analysis of the assets and the applicable succession frameworks. A hibah arrangement was prepared for specified assets, with a substantive will covering the civil-law estate. A family governance document was prepared following a session with the principal and his two adult children.
The Outcome
The principal received a complete structural framework: executed hibah deed, signed and witnessed will, and a family governance document agreed by all three family members. The process took twelve weeks; the principal described the outcome as the most clearly documented his affairs had ever been.
"I understood what each document was for and why it was structured as it was. That clarity was what I needed."
Half-Day Advisory Conference · Single Session
The Situation
A financial planner introduced a client who was considering entering a joint venture with a development partner and needed to understand the structural and legal implications before proceeding. The question was specific enough for a conference format rather than a full engagement.
What the Firm Did
A four-hour conference was held at chambers. Ahmad Razif presented two structural approaches — a joint-venture company and a contractual JV — with the legal and governance implications of each. Working documents were prepared before the session and reviewed during it. A written note was issued four working days later.
The Outcome
The client chose one structural approach and subsequently engaged the firm to prepare the JV documentation as a separate transactional instruction. The conference had served its purpose: the client made an informed structural decision before any transaction costs were incurred.
"MYR 510 for four hours of senior legal thinking on a specific question is a fair arrangement. The written note was useful to refer back to."
