Work highlights

Acting as lead counsel to Temokin Construction in connection with the structuring and documentation of a newly formed construction corporation established to design, build, and maintain the Seremban Middle Ring Road — a $447 million infrastructure project in Negeri Sembilan. The engagement centred on the negotiation, drafting, and finalisation of a comprehensive shareholders' agreement and related contractual documentation to align the commercial and operational interests of four independent construction companies participating in the project. The governance framework addressed reserved matters, funding obligations, operational control, transfer restrictions, and ownership transition scenarios, while maintaining the decision-making efficiency necessary for the execution of a long-term infrastructure development. The structure was designed to balance competing shareholder interests while ensuring legal protection, continuity of operations, and clear pathways for future ownership transitions over the full lifecycle of the project.

Acting as local counsel to a shareholder of Eti Maden — a Turkish state-owned mining and chemicals company — in connection with the establishment of a Malaysian entity to support regional transit trading operations across Malaysia and Indonesia, in a matter valued at $50 million. The transaction established a direct import and distribution framework for boron products from Türkiye into the region, reducing reliance on intermediaries, lowering operational costs, and strengthening cross-border trade linkages between Türkiye, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
