She has advised clients in construction, privatisation, PPP projects in Malaysia, Qatar and other parts of Southeast Asia, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Dubai, Pakistan, Iraq and Jordan.
Sharifah is currently an Executive Committee Member of the World Association of PPP Units & Professionals (WAPPP). WAPPP is a non-profit association based in Geneva, Switzerland and is a global hub for PPP community. There are over 50 PPP Units and government agencies globally which are members of WAPPP including UKAS, the PPP Unit of Malaysia.
Meanwhile, Hurriyyah has a decade of experience in corporate, commercial, real estate finance transactions covering various business segments. She has undertaken multiple project financing, conveyancing, commercial documentation in the realm of debt securities and advised financial institutions and trust companies in protecting their security interest as well.
Hurriyyah’s past stint in Corporate Finance with a public-listed conglomerate enables her with a realistic appreciation for the workings of market and corporate sector. This has placed her in a particularly advantageous position of appreciating the importance of commercial priorities and business realities when advising clients on the appropriate legal strategy that is not only commercially viable but tailored to their needs.
Hurriyyah has the distinction of being one of the few Malaysian lawyers who have been accepted to read the Masters of Laws at Cornell University, USA.
