I'm looking for a firm that can give me wide range of opportunities to learn in terms of litigation especially in civil, commercial and corporate but not forgetting the time to learn some basic with regards to conveyancing.

To be honest, Shahrizat is one of the firms I made my application for the position of pupillage. They are in my list mainly is because they do both litigation and conveyancing based on what I have searched online about them. However, what they have posted online are based on their own perspective, hence I need some comments from 3rd parties, ie. someone who is engaged or familiar with legal field.

do you have any comment or thought that you can share about them? thanks

I interviewed and was offered at Shahrizat for chambering a few years ago - my impression was that it was a medium sized set up, a little old school but it got some good deals back in the day. I ultimately didn't join, not because of anything with the firm itself (although admittedly i was a bit turned off by the old school feel), but just decided to go with another firm that was more focused in corporate advisory.

Dont know how far along you are in your pupillage search and if you're considering other firms but its pretty difficult to get this kind of info unless you have friends there or maybe seniors in other law firms who have dealt with Shahrizat before. There's a site called Office Parrots - they have job reviews for law firms in KL, but no info on Shahrizat yet cos it relies on user contributions and guess nobody from there has written anything.

Also, if you want to do litigation and some conveyancing, it would be good to check with the firm itself whether you would really get to do both or if they have a rotation system. Some firms are kinda sticky on cross-departmental work.

Good luck with this.
