Capabilities
ZUL RAFIQUE & partners’ offers a team of lawyers to assist organisations to prepare for the implementation of Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act 2009, which has come into force on 1 June 2020. Section 17A imposes a corporate liability on organisations, who may now be held accountable for the corrupt offences committed by their employees or any persons deemed associated with the organisations.

Hence, we aim to provide advice and assistance to our clients in their efforts to establish adequate procedures in the form of, amongst others, policies and procedures designed to withstand scrutiny in the event of any incident of corruption.
