Hello!
I am Zomael, founder of Zomael & Co. I have advised multinational companies from the United States, Europe, and across Asia on inbound investments into the region, with a particular focus on Malaysia. Drawing on this experience, Zomael & Co. operates as a focused, independent advisory, structured to be agile, responsive, and commercially grounded, with an emphasis on clear strategy and practical execution.
Our practice is deliberately concentrated on mergers and acquisitions. Rather than offering a broad range of services, we focus exclusively on M&A, allowing us to engage more deeply, respond decisively, and add meaningful value throughout the transaction lifecycle.
Services
Our foreign investment advisory covers end-to-end support for expansion into new jurisdictions, including market screening, regulatory assessment, entry barriers, and available government incentives.
Our due diligence advisory covers comprehensive legal, regulatory and contractual risk assessments to help you identify risks, validate value, and make informed investment decisions with confidence.
Our contracts advisory covers drafting, review, and negotiation of acquisition or disposal agreements for shares and assets, as well as a wide range of operational and commercial contracts essential to your business.
Our regulatory advisory helps businesses navigate regulatory requirements, compliance, corporate governance obligations, licensing frameworks, and statutory filings to ensure full adherence to applicable laws and industry standards.
