Focused criminal-law advice and representation across investigations, arrest, remand, charges, trials and appeals, subject to the facts, evidence, procedural stage and formal instructions.
NFALAW assesses serious criminal matters by looking first at the allegation, the current procedural stage, the authority involved and the available evidence.
The right legal response can differ significantly between an investigation, an arrest or remand, a charge, a trial or an appeal.
The practice areas below bring the firm’s current criminal-law work into one clear structure. Each area has its own dedicated page so that you can understand the relevant legal issues and decide what information to provide when making an enquiry.
Serious drug allegations under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 can involve questions about the charge, substance, search, seizure, custody or control, chain of evidence and the procedural stage of the case.
View Section 39B & Drug TraffickingMACC and corruption matters can begin with a request for information or a statement and may develop into investigation, arrest, remand, charge or court proceedings involving individuals, directors, employees or organisations.
View MACC & CorruptionMoney-laundering matters may involve financial records, transactions, asset tracing, freezing or forfeiture and allegations connected with an underlying offence under the relevant Malaysian framework.
View AMLA & Money LaunderingSecurity-related matters can raise different detention, investigation and court issues from ordinary criminal cases. Early identification of the authority, current location and procedural stage is important.
View SOSMA & Security OffencesFinancial and corporate allegations may involve cheating, criminal breach of trust, corporate fraud, cyber or financial evidence, regulatory exposure and overlapping civil or commercial disputes.
View White-Collar & Financial CrimeSexual-offence allegations require discreet, evidence-focused handling. The legal issues may arise during investigation, statement taking, trial or appeal, depending on the facts and the firm’s accepted scope of work.
View Sexual OffencesA criminal-law enquiry may begin long before a court trial. The practical issues depend on what has already happened and what is likely to happen next.
A police or enforcement agency may request information, documents or a statement. The first task is to identify the authority, the request and any deadline.
If a person has been arrested or is facing a remand application, the immediate concern is to identify where the person is held, the authority involved and the next procedural event.
Once a charge is laid, the precise wording, applicable law and procedural route become central to the legal review.
A trial may require examination of witness evidence, exhibits, documents, expert or laboratory material and the prosecution case as a whole.
An appeal requires careful review of the judgment, grounds, record and applicable time limits before the next route can be explained.
Criminal law is not a single type of dispute. Drug trafficking allegations can raise evidential and statutory issues that differ from an MACC investigation. An AMLA matter may involve financial records and asset-related orders, while a security-related or sexual-offence matter may involve different procedural and evidential considerations.
Choosing the most relevant practice area helps a first enquiry start with the right information. It also helps NFALAW understand the nature of the matter before any advice or representation is discussed.
NFALAW’s published approach is built around understanding the facts and procedural stage first, identifying urgent dates and documents, checking conflicts and then explaining the appropriate next step within the scope of any formal instruction.
