Senior Associate

(Dispute Resolution)

Are you an ambitious litigator eager to handle complex commercial disputes, but equally passionate about working in an environment that respects your personal time and well-being? Fareez Law is expanding our Dispute Resolution practice in Kuala Lumpur, and we are looking for a dedicated Senior Associate to join our team.

This role is designed for a forward-thinking practitioner who wants to transition from routine drafting into strategic legal architecture. You will be managing high-stakes corporate litigation, statutory insolvency, and alternative dispute resolution matters. We offer a structured pathway to Partnership, giving you the autonomy to lead cases while backed by modern legal technology and a highly supportive team structure.

A Modern Approach to Legal Practice

We know that the Malaysian legal landscape is demanding, but we firmly believe that world-class advocacy does not require sacrificing your life outside the office. Fareez Law is built on the integration of legal rigor, fair remuneration, and leveraging technology to make practice sustainable.

• Technology-Enabled Workflows: We utilize advanced legal AI, automated drafting tools, and cloud-based practice management so you spend your time on high-value strategy and advocacy, not administrative friction.
• Flexible Working & WFH Policy: We offer generous hybrid working arrangements and flexible hours. We measure success by the quality of your counsel and client outcomes, not by the hours you sit at your desk.
• Unlimited Leave Policy: We trust our senior professionals to manage their case portfolios responsibly, which is why we offer unlimited leave to ensure you rest, recover, and avoid burnout.
• Fair Remuneration & Insurance: Enjoy an above-market base salary, transparent profit-sharing / fee-share bonuses, and a comprehensive medical insurance subsidy for you and your dependents.
