On 10 June 2024, approximately 35 students attended the Faculty of Law (FOL) Sharing Series at the Melaka campus. The session featured Mr. Harith Hazim Zulkifli, a Legal Executive/Advisor at Putra Business School, and the event was jointly organised by the Centre for Alumni (CfA) and FOL.
Mr. Harith, an alumnus who graduated in 2019, delivered an insightful talk entitled “Company Law: A Perspective from an In-house Legal Counsel.” He discussed the duties and responsibilities of an in-house legal counsel, which include providing accurate, relevant, and timely advice to the employer and other staff members on various legal topics related to the business sector and their products or services. Additionally, he highlighted the distinctions between a practicing lawyer and an in-house legal counsel, offering valuable insights for students considering careers in these fields. The talk session concluded with a token of appreciation presentation by Mr. Justin Johari Azman, FOL lecturer to the invited speaker.
It is hoped that sessions like these will continue to inspire and inform students, helping them to understand the diverse career paths available within the legal profession and to make well-informed decisions about their futures.
