Rahmat Lim & Partners‘ ’cooperative, skilled and knowledgeable’ projects and energy team has a strong reputation for its capabilities in handling both contentious and non-contentious infrastructure work. The team’s client list is formed of well-known names from the array of sectors, including transportation, aviation and renewables. Its caseload includes advising on initial contracts, through to the construction, development and completion of the high-value projects. Its matters are often cross-jurisdictional in nature, an example being its advising Mega First Corporation in a $12m solar photovoltaic infrastructure development project initiated by the Maldivian government. Kamilah Kasim, who ‘needs no introduction’, is at the team’s helm, alongside international arbitration specialist Chong Yee Leong and the firm’s head of corporate Dzuhairi bin Jaafar Thani.
