This is the 7th edition of our annual Largest Law Firms in Malaysia series. We total the number of lawyers from the Malaysian Bar Legal Directory<\/span><\/a>. This is as at 7 December 2024.<\/p>\n

The law firms will include the numbers from their branch offices. For this year\u2019s edition, we have also included a mention of the number of pupils at the firm.<\/p>\n

Seven 100-lawyer Firms<\/em><\/h3>\n

Since we started tracking Malaysia\u2019s largest law firms, we have the highest number of 100-lawyer law firms.<\/p>\n

As shown in the table further below, there was a consistent trend of growth in numbers for 9 out of the top 10 largest law firms. The growth in headcount may be an indicator of a consistent marketwide recovery and growth of legal work post-Covid times.<\/p>\n

The Presence of China Law Firms<\/em><\/h3>\n

China remains Malaysia\u2019s largest trading partners<\/span> <\/a>and one of our largest foreign investors. Hence, it was only a matter of time before we saw China law firms consider a presence in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

In June 2024, Richard Wee Chambers<\/span><\/a> made the headlines when the firm entered a collaboration agreement with Grandall Law Firm<\/span><\/a>, one of the largest full-service law firms in China. This marked the first China-Malaysia law firm alliance<\/span><\/a>. Since the alliance, Richard Wee Chambers has doubled its lawyer numbers to 24 and counting.<\/p>\n

In July 2024, there was news of Yingke Law Global Network tying up with OCBC Bank<\/span><\/a> to offer value-added banking-related services. Additionally, Yingke now has a member firm in Malaysia through Y Kong, Wong & Partners<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The expansion of China law firms is part of a larger global trend of China\u2019s top \u2018red circle\u2019 law firms increasing their presence<\/span><\/a> in other countries.<\/p>\n

Our table below ranks the top 10 largest law firms and with the change in their lawyer count since our 2023 edition<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
