In March, Mohamad Ezri was elected president of Malaysia’s Bar Council. Armed with the mandate of improving professional standards while spearheading reforms and innovation in the Southeast Asia country’s legal industry, Ezri shares with ALB how he aims to help take Malaysia’s law firms to the next level. 

The Malaysian Bar Council has implied that it is open to talks regarding its proposed restrictions on the practice of “fly in, fly out,” which could see a 60-day annual cap imposed on visits by foreign lawyers not based in the country.
