Malaysian law firm Rosli Dahlan Saravana Partnership (RDS) has upped its partner strength to 20 after the addition of corporate partner Falisa Abu Bakar. Falisa’s last role was as a partner at Zul Rafique & Partners between 2016 and 2022.
She becomes the second former Zul Rafique partner to join RDS in recent times after disputes partner Farah Shuhadah Razali in August last year.
Falisa, who joins RDS’ corporate practice, specialises in projects, construction and Infrastructure matters. Her recent work includes advisory services for the construction of the first of several offtake-basis controlled release fertiliser plants, a latex gloves production plant, a silicone synthesis facility, and on the development of the Pengerang Integrated Complex (previously known as the PETRONAS RAPID Project).
RDS was formed in 2020 by five partners who broke away from local heavyweight Lee Hishamuddin Allen & Gledhill, following an intra-firm dispute.
