Partner

Noorulhuda Daud graduated with a Bachelor of Laws with Honours from the University of Malaya in 1996. She began her legal career at Messrs. Ishak Sharif & Co in Johor Bharu, where she completed her pupillage and launched her practice as a litigation lawyer. Over the years, she gained extensive experience in various firms across Johor Bharu before moving to Kuala Lumpur to join Messrs CK Lee & Associates.

In March 2001, Noorulhuda transitioned to the corporate sector as the Legal Manager where she oversaw corporate and company secretarial matters. However, her passion for active legal practice led her back to the courtroom in July 2002, where she resumed her litigation work at Messrs Long & Co.

Noorulhuda joined Jeffery Wong, Noorul, Ho & Lim in March 2003, and by December 2004, she was admitted as a partner of the firm. Her commitment to furthering her legal expertise saw her earn a Master of Law from the University of Malaya in 2010, followed by a Diploma in Syariah Law and Legal Practice (DSLP) in 2012. She was subsequently admitted as a Syarie lawyer in Selangor in 2013 and in Kuala Lumpur in 2014.

Throughout her career, Noorulhuda has managed a diverse portfolio, handling conveyancing and civil litigation across various domains, including banking and finance (with a specialization in Islamic banking), general debt recovery, probate and administration, as well as admiralty and maritime law.

Noorulhuda wrote a research paper on Musyarakah Mutanaqisah Islamic banking when pursuing her Master of Law and was appointed by the Government of Malaysia in 2016 as a member consultant of the National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP) for Malaysia.

Today, Noorulhuda leads the firm’s Islamic Conveyancing and Syariah Division, where she specializes in Islamic banking, family law, and succession laws, offering clients her deep expertise and dedicated service in these areas.
