Malaysian law firm Zul Rafique & Partners has bolstered its real estate capabilities with the addition of Ainal Marlinda Md Said, who joins from her role as legal head of property developer Sime Darby Property. 

Ainal is the second partner to join Zul Rafique from an in-house role this month, following the addition of Syed Haris Syed Yahya from oil and gas major Sapura Energy. 

Ainal has over two decades of experience advising on real estate transactions, including leases and tenancies of both landed and strata-titled properties, as well as banking facilities under conventional and Islamic financing principles relating to acquisitions of property.

She has advised on property classes including residential, commercial industrial, office units, buildings, factories, vacant lands, Malay Reserve Lands and data centres.

“Her extensive experience in conveyancing and real estate matters, combined with her leadership background, makes her a valuable addition to our corporate real estate practice,” said Datuk Lukman, co-managing partner of Zul Rafique, in a statement. 

Earlier this year, the firm added disputes partner Nur Syafinaz Vani from rival Rosli Dahlan Saravana Partnership.
