A little bit about Izwan & Partners
Izwan & Partners is a boutique corporate law firm that advises early stage technology companies dealing with complex cross border legal issues in highly regulated industries who appreciate regular and personal contact with senior counsel.
We pride ourselves on providing practical and, with an eye to the future, conservative advice regarding the use of cutting edge technologies in complex and shifting regulatory environments. Our clients are in business for the long run, and so are we.
How it all started
Hi, I’m Izwan! I’m a corporate lawyer with over a decade of legal experience in various corporate deals and transactions like M&A, private equity/ venture capital, and other technology transactions.
As a young boy, I’ve been obssesed about technology matters. I still remember the day my mom got me my first personal computer (it was a Windows 95) and the loud dial-up sound that we had to go through every time we need to get connected to the web (and the shock when you get the expensive monthly bill!).
So when I began my legal career, even though enjoyed working in big law firms acting for large corporate deals, I realise that I love working with technology companies, startups and entrepreneurs a lot more.
So in 2019, I decided to start my own corporate law firm, Izwan & Partners a dedicate niche legal practice in the technology and startup space. We usually act for startups, tech companies, and investors, but we’re always open to new challenges.
