Shearn Delamore & Co. is one of Malaysia’s longest established and most respected full-service law firms, with roots dating back to the early days of the Federated Malay States. Over the past century, we have played a defining role in shaping Malaysian law through landmark cases, while supporting the commercial growth and community interests of Malaysia and the wider region.

Today, we are among the country’s largest firms, comprising over 100 lawyers and 300 support professionals. Our clients include global corporations, listed companies, government bodies, financial institutions, multilateral agencies, and individuals. We are recognised for being locally grounded, internationally connected, and consistently committed to delivering tailored, high-quality legal solutions. We regularly advise domestic and international financial institutions on regulatory, corporate, and transactional matters across Malaysia’s evolving financial services landscape.

Our international reach is strengthened through our membership in the World Law Group, World Services Group, and Employment Law Alliance. In 2020, Shearn Delamore & Co. formed an alliance with Drew & Napier LLC from Singapore and Makarim & Taira S. from Indonesia to launch a formidable blue-chip legal network named Drew Network Asia (DNA) which has now been joined by a prominent Philippines law firm, Martinez Vergara Gonzalez & Serrano (MVGS) and a leading Thailand-headquartered law firm, Tilleke & Gibbin, adding strength to the regional footprint of DNA. These networks enable us to collaborate closely with leading firms worldwide and provide seamless, coordinated support to clients across jurisdictions.

Quality, integrity, and practical problem-solving remain the core values that guide our work. Many of our people have been with the firm for decades, and their dedication forms the foundation of our long-standing reputation. Our commitment to excellence is consistently recognised by leading legal directories, including Chambers Asia-Pacific, Chambers Global, The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific, IFLR1000, Asialaw Profiles, and Asian Legal Business.

While we honour our heritage, we continue to embrace innovation to meet the needs of a fast-evolving global business landscape. Our focus is to deliver legal advice that is commercially sound, solutions-driven, and aligned with our clients’ strategic goals—today and into the future.
