Overview

The Society of Construction Law, Malaysia saw its beginnings in 2003 as the Society of Construction Law (Kuala Lumpur and Selangor) with a membership comprising persons interested in construction law and residing in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Effective 2009, the Society expanded to become a national society admitting members from all states of Malaysia. The Society’s main aim is to promote education, study and research in the field of construction law and related subjects. The Society is autonomous but has links with the Society of Construction Law, UK. The Society also has similar links with allied societies in Europe, Hong Kong and Singapore. To this end, the Society works with institutions and organisations both locally and internationally to promote these objects and to provide a platform for its members and other stakeholders throughout the construction, legal and related professional service industries to come together to discuss issues relating to construction law and related fields such as all forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) including arbitration and adjudication, construction, project and risk management. The activities of the Society are also aimed at meeting the continuing education requirement of professionals. The Society regularly applies to the relevant professional bodies for the grant of Continuing Professional Development (CDP) hours/points in respect of courses and conferences held by the Society.
