About the firm

Naidu Chambers is a Malaysian law firm in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, led by its principal, Mr Sreedhara Naidu, Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya. Mr Naidu brings 40 years of corporate experience to his legal work.

The firm acts for companies, company directors, shareholders, business owners, doctors and other professionals, and private individuals in matters where a great deal is at stake: commercial claims, disputes between shareholders or business partners, claims arising from medical treatment, damage to reputation, and the division of matrimonial assets on divorce.

Matters are handled in the civil courts of Peninsular Malaysia, from the Magistrates' and Sessions Courts to the High Court, Court of Appeal and Federal Court, and through negotiation and mediation where that better serves the client.

How the firm works

• The principal is responsible for every matter.

  Mr Sreedhara Naidu, as principal, is responsible for each matter the firm accepts, from first advice to conclusion.

• Commercial, practical advice.

  Advice takes account of the client's business, finances, family and time, and not only the legal position.

• Plain language.

  Clients are told clearly what the law says, what the options are, and what the risks are.

• Confidentiality.

  Every enquiry is treated in confidence. Communications with the firm for the purpose of legal advice are protected by legal professional privilege.

Who the firm acts for

• Business owners and companies

  facing a contract dispute, an unpaid debt, a falling-out with a co-founder or partner, or a challenge to control of the company.

• Directors and shareholders

  whose position, investment or reputation is under threat.

• Doctors, professionals and senior executives

  in disputes where their professional standing matters as much as the money.

• Patients and families

  after serious harm from medical treatment.

• Spouses with significant assets

  (a family business, shares, several properties or assets abroad) who need the division handled carefully and privately.

What to expect at the start

1. Conflict check. The firm first confirms it can act for you.
2. Confidential first discussion. You explain what has happened; Mr Naidu identifies the key documents, the deadlines and the questions that matter.
3. A clear view of your position. You are told the strengths and weaknesses of your position, the realistic options (negotiation, mediation or court), the likely steps and the risks.
4. Written terms. If you instruct the firm, the scope of work is confirmed in writing before work begins.

The firm's practice areas are:

• Civil and commercial litigation: Contract claims, debt recovery, injunctions, property and professional negligence disputes.
• Corporate and shareholder disputes: Minority shareholder (oppression) claims, disputes between directors, joint venture breakdowns, and directors' duties.
• Medical negligence: Claims by patients and families against private and government hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers.
• Defamation: Claims and defences in libel, slander and online defamation, including social media posts.
• Divorce and family law: Non-Muslim divorce, division of matrimonial assets including business interests, maintenance, and child custody.
