About

Provided by Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill

The firm’s agile Energy, Projects & Infrastructure Practice prides itself on its ability to complete high value, complex and protracted projects and construction matters to achieve clients’ goals and difficult deadlines. The team is led by the highly respected and seasoned projects lawyer Steven Tee.


The team combines knowledge of regulation and practice in a myriad of infrastructure, energy, transport and utility sectors with expertise and experience in project and financing documents. These include, amongst others, concession agreements, offtake agreements, feedstock or utility supply contracts, EPC contracts, O&M agreements and shareholders’ agreements. We have specialist construction lawyers well versed with Malaysian contract forms and the FIDIC suite of contracts, who also often prepare and negotiate bespoke construction documents.


We regularly advise Malaysian and international sponsors, governments, financiers, contractors, consultants and other stakeholders, from start to finish, both on the development and financing (limited recourse or otherwise) of a greenfield project as well as secondary project acquisitions. We have acted on transactions not only in Malaysia but in foreign jurisdictions as well, where we often act as lead international counsel.
