Shearn Delamore & Co’s rich history and heritage reflects the story of Malaysia over the past century. The seeds of the firm were planted around the beginning of the twentieth century, the time that professional lawyers were allowed to appear as advocates before the courts of the Federated Malay States (FMS). The cluster formed the foundation of what the country is today.

Since then, we have represented and supported the commercial and community interests of our nation, as well as the international community. We have also acted in key landmark cases that have helped define Malaysian law.

Our clients comprise multinational conglomerates, public-listed companies, industrial and commercial corporations, professional firms and organisations, multilateral agencies, domestic and international institutions, governments and individuals, and social and welfare entities. We are also frequently appointed as counsel and consulted by other legal firms.

Today, Shearn Delamore & Co is one of the largest award‑winning full‑service law firms in the country with over 100 lawyers and 300 support staff.

Our Values

At Shearn Delamore & Co, we value quality, integrity and practicality. These values reflect who we are as a firm and our goals for the future. They shape what we do and how we do it.

Whatever their role, whether as a lawyer or a member of our support team, their contribution preserves and strengthens our firm and is the reason for our success.

Our traditional values are balanced by our enthusiasm for innovation and collaboration. We constantly seek out new and better ways of delivering our services to our clients, together with our friends around the globe.

Our Vision

To continue to be a world class law firm that understands clients’ needs.

We aspire to meet the challenges of the international business community without compromising on integrity or quality.
