Naidu Chambers, Advocates and Solicitors in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur

About the firm

Naidu Chambers is a Malaysian law firm in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, led by its principal, Mr Sreedhara Naidu, Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya. Mr Naidu brings 40 years of corporate experience to his legal work.

The firm acts for companies, company directors, shareholders, business owners, doctors and other professionals, and private individuals in matters where a great deal is at stake: commercial claims, disputes between shareholders or business partners, claims arising from medical treatment, damage to reputation, and the division of matrimonial assets on divorce.

Matters are handled in the civil courts of Peninsular Malaysia, from the Magistrates' and Sessions Courts to the High Court, Court of Appeal and Federal Court, and through negotiation and mediation where that better serves the client.

How the firm works

• The principal is responsible for every matter.

  Mr Sreedhara Naidu, as principal, is responsible for each matter the firm accepts, from first advice to conclusion.

• Commercial, practical advice.

  Advice takes account of the client's business, finances, family and time, and not only the legal position.

• Plain language.

  Clients are told clearly what the law says, what the options are, and what the risks are.

• Confidentiality.

  Every enquiry is treated in confidence. Communications with the firm for the purpose of legal advice are protected by legal professional privilege.
