Abang & Co is a boutique law firm specialising in commercial, construction and environmental law. They have a strong track record of advising on high-value infrastructure projects, handling front-end project development negotiations with government entities, as well as representing clients in arbitration, adjudication, mediation and court litigation.
Founding partner Abang Iwawan is a key figure at the firm, leveraging his extensive experience in front-end project development to effectively represent clients in construction disputes, including arbitration and adjudication. He also provides valuable guidance throughout the project life cycle and has successfully handled disputes involving major infrastructure projects across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
As an example of their expertise, Abang & Co successfully represented the construction arm of a public listed company and its joint venture partner in a construction dispute. The dispute arose from the construction and completion of a new regional sewage treatment plant in Kuala Lumpur, involving the Malaysian subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned entity. Abang & Co provided comprehensive representation throughout the process, including statutory adjudication under the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012, arbitration proceedings, and ultimately securing a favourable settlement for their clients.
