London barristers’ chambers 39 Essex Street has announced it will open an office in Malaysia later this year.

Rashda Rana will relocate from the chambers’ Singapore office in October to open the new office in the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration. Rana joined 39 Essex Street last September from Sydney’s Ground Floor Wentworth Chambers. Rana says 39 Essex Street is planning to have one additional barrister in Kuala Lumpur.
