David Lim, a co-founder of Malaysian boutique firm D&P Law Group, has left to set up a new legal practice catering to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups in the country.

Sheng & Co aims to make high-quality legal services more accessible to smaller businesses, a segment it says is often underserved by traditional law firms.

The launch comes at a time when Malaysia's startup ecosystem is growing rapidly, with the government pushing for increased digitalization and innovation in the business sector.

The firm will also specialise in renewable energy project advisory, particularly in the solar power sector.

Lim, who set up D&P Law Group in 2020 with Shaun Paulian, has experience in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and corporate commercial transactions across industries such as renewable energy, aviation, and healthcare.

"We want to democratize access to top-tier legal services, ensuring that clients of all sizes receive exceptional advice," Lim said in a statement. He emphasised the firm's focus on providing innovative legal solutions tailored to the dynamic needs of Malaysian SMEs and startups.

Prior to D&P, Lim held roles at established firms such as Rahmat Lim & Partners and ZICO Law.

D&P now has two partners – Paulian and corporate expert Shamimi Saberi.
