Why KHAS
Courtroom advocacy is our foundation.
Established in 2003 by our sole proprietor, Mr. Kamal Hisham Ja'afar, the firm has grown from a Malaysian practice into one serving clients in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Dubai. What has not changed is the approach: professional ethics, and practical, results-focused solutions.
- Two decades of continuous practice since 2003
- Registered with the Bar Council of Malaysia
- Trial-tested advocates across criminal and civil courts
- Local and international clients, from individuals to institutions
Our Approach
Prepared long before the hearing.
Good outcomes are built on preparation. Every matter begins with a frank assessment of where you stand, what the law allows, and what it will realistically take — so that by the time we reach the court or the counterparty, nothing is improvised.
We would rather tell you something inconvenient early than comfortable and wrong.
Middle East Practice
Dubai, and the wider Gulf
Our Dubai office is where the firm's Middle East work is run from — and it is the reason a Malaysian practice can follow its clients into the region rather than hand them off.
From Deira we advise on establishing and expanding a business across the UAE and the wider region: entity structuring, licensing and regulatory requirements, choosing the right corporate vehicle, contract drafting, and market entry strategy.
- Entity structuring and corporate vehicle selection
- Licensing and regulatory compliance
- Contract drafting and review
- Market entry strategy
