Malaysian law firm Azmi & Associates has opened a new office in the city of Putrajaya on 1 April 2026, with Ahmad Hafiz Zubir appointed as head of the branch.
Hafiz Zubir, a partner and head of the general and intellectual property litigation practice group, told Asia Business Law Journal that launching the Putrajaya office was “a strategic move to be in closer proximity to the federal administrative capital and the appellate courts”.
“The timing naturally coincided with the firm’s recent integration of a specialist litigation and intellectual property team earlier this year. This provided the ideal foundation and resources to launch this geographical expansion effectively,” he said.
The Putrajaya office would initially focus on general and intellectual property litigation, as well as oil, gas and energy projects, with plans to expand into conveyancing and real estate in the future, Hafiz Zubir added.
A team of four lawyers – comprising one partner, senior associate (of counsel) Mahadi Abdullah, a 33?year veteran of Petronas, and two legal associates – along with two legal secretaries will be based at the new office.
With the launch of the Putrajaya office, Azmi & Associates now has four locations in Malaysia, with the other three in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Penang.
