Law Partnership offers a scope of dispute resolution services in multiple practice areas, including commercial disputes and investigations, employment, intellectual property, and technology, media and telecommunications. The firm is best known for its IP practice, though its handling of white-collar crime and labour and employment disputes is gaining traction. The latter is due to the efforts of dedicated employment partner Nimisha Jaya Gobi.
The firm’s founding partners, Suaran Sidhu and Brian Law, are frequently seen in the courts for IP matters and on enforcement actions. Its client base ranges from SMEs and technology start-ups to locally listed companies and global conglomerates. Law Partnership is the local relationship firm of the global firm Eversheds Sutherland. Under the umbrella of these networks, the firm predominantly takes the lead on matters within the Malaysian jurisdiction.
Key contacts are managing partner Sidhu and partner Law.
The firm’s IP team successfully assisted the Ministry for Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs in the raid of a warehouse that contained fake Shell lubricants. During the raid, various lubricants such as transformer oil, compressor oil, truck and heavy-duty engine oil, grease and slideway oil for the use of heavy vehicles were found. Labels and bottle caps with the Shell logo were also found and seized. The case is being investigated.
In another ongoing IP dispute, the firm is representing a renowned multinational low-cost airline in resisting an infringement claim filed by the flag carrier airline of Malaysia and a member of the Oneworld airline alliance and its subsidiary at the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
Other clients the firm has advised on remain confidential.
