PETALING JAYA: In a move to strengthen China-Malaysia cross-border legal services, law firm Mohamed Ridza & Co (MRCo) has signed a cooperation agreement with its Chinese counterpart, ZHH & Robin LLP.
The agreement, which was formalised in Chongqing, China, yesterday, reinforces efforts to strengthen legal connectivity along the China–Malaysia business corridor, at a time when bilateral economic activity continues to deepen.
ZHH and MRCo were represented by Eagle Yang and Mohamed Ridza Mohamed Abdulla, the managing partners of the respective firms.
In a statement, both law firms said the partnership builds upon years of mutual trust, friendship and collaboration under the LAWorld international legal alliance.
It reflects a shared commitment to providing seamless, high-quality legal services to clients operating across both jurisdictions, particularly in light of growing economic ties facilitated by the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor.
The collaboration also includes launching joint initiatives focused on legal-talent development, client-service innovation, and knowledge exchange.
Additionally, both firms will share office infrastructure and administrative support to enhance operational efficiency and foster a seamless cross-border working environment to meet the demands of regional and multinational clients.
“This agreement represents a forward-looking step in cross-border legal cooperation. We are excited to deepen our collaboration with MRCo and jointly support the legal needs of businesses navigating the China-Malaysia corridor,” said Yang.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Ridza noted that his firm’s partnership with ZHH reflects its shared vision of “delivering world-class legal services through innovation, cultural understanding, and professional excellence”.
Going forward, both firms will also engage in joint promotional efforts and secondment programmes to foster cross-border legal expertise.
In the lead-up to the signing of the agreement, ZHH hosted a two-day seminar in Chongqing and Chengdu, China, on May 21 and 22.
The seminar drew participation from legal professionals and corporate leaders and provided a platform for in-depth discussions on cross-border investment trends, regulatory compliance, and risk-mitigation strategies in Asean.
