Our Story

From the vibrant heart of Subang Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan, a vision for a different kind of legal practice took root. On June 26, 2020, the Chambers of Zainul Rijal (CZAR) was established by the highly respected Dato’ Haji Zainul Rijal bin Abu Bakar. This was not merely the beginning of a new firm, but the continuation of a profound legal journey that began with Messrs Zainul Rijal Talha & Amir in 1996. For 24 years, that predecessor firm carved a niche of distinction, building a legacy of integrity and success that CZAR was poised to inherit and expand upon.

The establishment of CZAR marked a new chapter, carrying forward an unwavering commitment to navigating the multifaceted Malaysian legal system. But the pursuit of comprehensive justice didn't stop there. Recognizing the distinct and equally critical need for specialized expertise in Islamic jurisprudence, the Shariah Chambers of Zainul Rijal (SCZAR) was founded on November 25, 2022. This strategic evolution allows us to offer a truly holistic service, addressing legal matters with a nuanced understanding of both civil and Shariah principles.
