Malaysian law firm Zul Rafique & Partners has bolstered its dispute resolution capabilities with the addition of disputes partner Nur Syafinaz Vani from rival Rosli Dahlan Saravana Partnership (RDS).

RDS had poached two Zul Rafique partners in the last six months, with corporate partner Falisa Abu Bakar jumping ship in March and disputes partner Farah Shuhadah Razali moving in August last year.

Syafinaz brings over a decade of experience advising clients on corporate debt recovery, commercial fraud and banking litigation. She also specialises in matters involving recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.

With the addition of Syafinaz, Zul Rafique now has 30 partners, including six in its disputes practice.
