Dato' Haji Zainul Rijal Bin Abu Bakar

It is with great pleasure and immense pride that I present the Chambers of Zainul Rijal (CZAR) and its esteemed counterpart, the Shariah Chambers of Zainul Rijal (SCZAR). Together, these firms stand as a testament to a lifelong commitment to the law and an unwavering pursuit of justice in its many forms. My journey in the legal field began with the founding of Messrs Zainul Rijal Talha & Amir in 1996, a period during which I witnessed firsthand the dynamic evolution of the legal landscape in Malaysia. It was this invaluable experience and a keen foresight for the growing need for specialized legal services that led to the establishment of CZAR in 2020, focusing on civil law. Recognizing the equally vital and distinct domain of Islamic jurisprudence, SCZAR was subsequently established in 2022 to provide dedicated expertise in Shariah law.

CZAR and SCZAR represent a continuation and an amplification of the core values that have been the bedrock of my career: unwavering integrity in every action, a relentless commitment to achieving excellence for our clients, and a profound compassion for those we are privileged to serve. We firmly believe in upholding the highest ethical standards, ensuring that our clients receive not only the best possible legal representation but also counsel that is both sound and principled. More than just navigating legal complexities, we are dedicated to a holistic approach to justice. This philosophy acknowledges the intricate tapestry of human relationships and underscores our commitment to finding solutions that transcend the often limiting adversarial nature of legal disputes, now enhanced by our integrated civil and Shariah capabilities.

This unique dual-expertise structure is born from the understanding that the needs of our clients often traverse the perceived boundaries of civil and Shariah law. By fostering a seamless synergy between CZAR and SCZAR, we aim to provide comprehensive, nuanced, and effective legal solutions that are tailored to the specific circumstances of each individual and entity we represent. Our vision is to be a beacon where the diverse streams of legal thought converge, offering clarity and resolution. This is the essence of our motto, “We See The Law Differently” – not merely as a set of rules, but as a dynamic instrument for achieving fairness, equity, and harmony in society.

We are committed to not only upholding the letter of the law but also its spirit, ensuring that justice is accessible and meaningful. As we look to the future, we are dedicated to continuous learning, mentoring the next generation of legal professionals, and contributing positively to the ongoing development of the Malaysian legal system. We invite you to experience the dedication, expertise, and compassionate service that define the Chambers of Zainul Rijal and the Shariah Chambers of Zainul Rijal.
