Senior Partner/Executive Chairman, Azmi & Associates
3wLaw students from Universitas Hasanuddin Sulawesi had made 3 working visits to Azmi & Associates, including this trip. And I had been to their Law School once in 2019 to give a 1-day talk on globalization of legal service, emerging law practice areas, policy reform and law, law and investment. It’s commendable for University Hasanuddin to make a visit to our law firm, and also to one or two law schools in Malaysia, as part of the process of giving regional exposure to the law students. We hope they would be inspired with what Azmi & Associates has shared with them during these visits!
