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, and regularly organizes courses, lectures and conferences to disseminate information and expand the law and practice relating to the construction industry. The Society also works with institutions and organizations both locally and internationally to promote these objects and to provide a platform for its members and others 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.
