Advised Vantris Energy (formerly Sapura Energy) and three of its subsidiaries on the issuance of Redeemable Convertible Unsecured Islamic Debt Securities and three separate series of Sukuk Murabahah, as part of one of the largest and most complex distressed debt restructurings in Malaysian corporate history. The Composite Scheme of Arrangement, spanning 23 group entities and involving over RM12 billion equivalent in debt owed to thousands of domestic and foreign creditors, required the wholesale novation of debts across the scheme companies and the issuance of the securities in part-settlement of restructured liabilities under the Shariah principle of Qalb al-Dayn. The transaction was structurally innovative, introducing payment-in-kind profit mechanics and requiring documentation carefully calibrated to ensure economic parity across creditor classes receiving different forms of settlement. Azman Luk led the firm's advice on the transaction.

Acted for BASF Petronas Chemicals as defendant in a high-value contractual dispute against its electricity supplier, Petronas Gas, arising from a long-term electricity supply arrangement with an approximate contract value of RM4.2 billion. The central issue was whether a contractual quantity provision introduced more than a decade into the parties' relationship constituted a take-or-pay obligation, with Petronas Gas seeking to recover RM57.9 million in alleged outstanding charges. The firm worked closely with industry and quantum experts to demonstrate that take-or-pay structures are uncommon in electricity supply contracts given the inherent inability to store electricity, and that the parties' consistent course of dealing over many years supported the client's position that the provision was intended only as a non-binding annual forecast of expected consumption. The matter concluded with Petronas Gas formally discontinuing the proceedings without liberty to file afresh, representing a complete vindication of the client's position in a dispute with significant commercial implications for long-term energy supply arrangements. Boon Leong Chong led the firm's advice on the matter.

Advised Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) Malaysia, a subsidiary of Mitsui Fudosan, on its joint venture with Setia Ecohill, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SP Setia, to develop a large-scale premium landed residential development within the established Setia EcoHill township in Semenyih, Selangor. The joint venture, carried out through a newly incorporated joint venture company, covers approximately 113 acres and is set to deliver 683 residential units comprising bungalows, semi-detached and cluster homes with an estimated gross development value of RM1.3 billion. The transaction marked Mitsui Fudosan's first foray into landed residential development in Malaysia and its second joint venture with SP Setia following the parties' earlier collaboration at Setia Federal Hill in 2023, reflecting growing international institutional confidence in the Malaysian residential property market.

Advised ESR Group as Malaysian counsel on its privatisation by way of a scheme of arrangement valued at approximately HK$55.2 billion, one of the largest take-private transactions in the Asia-Pacific real estate and infrastructure space in recent years. ESR is a leading Asia-Pacific real asset owner and manager with a focus on logistics real estate, data centres and energy infrastructure, and the privatisation saw the group pass into the ownership of a consortium comprising Starwood Capital Group, SSW Partners, Sixth Street, Warburg Pincus, Qatar Investment Authority and ESR's founders, enabling the group to accelerate its strategic transformation into a streamlined business centred on its core platforms. The Malaysian counsel role required navigating complex change of control requirements administered by the Securities Commission Malaysia across multi-layered ownership structures spanning the ESR group.
