国浩律师事务所与马来西亚Richard Wee Chambers律师事务所(RWC)正式建立合作关系。
据悉,自6月20日起,RWC的中文名称已更改为国浩律师(马来西亚)事务所,并正式成为国浩在马来西亚的执业机构,也是国浩在全球范围内的第36家分支机构。
目前,国浩马来西亚办公室已有十二名资深律师加入、二十余名员工。该分所将专注于为客户在科技、电信、新能源绿色项目、半导体、物流、物业管理等不同行业的复杂跨境交易中提供全面和综合的法律服务。
RWC由Richard Wee设立于2019年,是一家位于马来西亚首都吉隆坡市中心的精品律师事务所,致力于为客户提供个性化和高质量的法律服务,尤其擅长提供体育和电子竞技、科技、环境、社会和公司治理、劳动、房地产、电子商务等领域的法律服务。

国浩在一份新闻稿中表示,本次合作汇集了双方的专业力量与资源,也标志着国浩在国际化发展中又迈出了扎实一步。
China’s Grandall, Malaysian law firm RWC enter into collaboration
Beijing-headquartered China's Grandall Law Firm and Malaysian law firm Richard Wee Chambers (RWC) have entered into a collaboration agreement.
Following the signing of the agreement, the Chinese-language trade name of the Malaysian firm will change to "国浩律师(马来西亚)事务所" but retain its English name as "Richard Wee Chambers - A Member of Grandall Law Firm,” said a statement from the PRC outfit.
This marks 36th branch globally for Grandall, which was founded in 1998. The Malaysian team now has 12 senior lawyers focusing on areas such as technology, telecommunications, new energy, green projects, semiconductors, logistics and property management.
RWC was founded in 2019 in Kuala Lumpur by Richard Wee. It is known for expertise in sports and esports, technology, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, labour, real estate, and e-commerce law.
And earlier this year, corporate lawyer Will Fung joined RWC as a principal partner after being among the first batch of foreign legal counsels registered with the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice.
Fung, who had joined Grandall's Beijing office in 2007, has practiced as an international counsel assisting clients globally, primarily in corporate mergers and acquisitions, the statement said. His other previous employers include Malaysia’s Shook Lin & Bok and Arthur Wang Lian & Partners.
"The collaboration brings together the expertise and resources of both sides and marks another solid step in the firm's international development," Grandall said.
