HISTORY

The Chambers of Kumar & Co. was established in 1974 by Dato’ Seri K. Kumaraendran. Since its inception, Kumar & Co. has dealt in almost every aspect and area of law. Dato’ Seri K. Kumaraendran himself began his career as a civil litigator and eventually honed his skills to become one of the country’s leading criminal advocates.

The firm, however, had grown into one specializing in criminal litigation, to this day. As time passed and changed, so too had the firm. At this moment, the firm has already established its name in Penang as well as its reputation in various areas of law in the East and West Coast.

The firm now compromises a mixture of traditional experience and a new, fresh air of forward thinking lawyers that are dynamic and necessary to adopt to the future of litigation. The firm, since its humble beginnings, has always been a litigation orientated firm, and this has made it what it is today, a respected and reputable law firm.

Effective 1st July 1999, the Firm has grown in strength. The current senior partners, Dato’ Seri K. Kumaraendran, and Mr. Devkumar are exceptionally proficient in legal practice and litigation work. All have been active and accumulated vast knowledge and skills essential in the competitive cosmopolitan, having between twenty four to fifty four years of experience between each.

In 1999, the Chambers of Kumar & Co. strategically moved to a new office also at Bishop Street, Georgetown. This area boasts not only a thriving financial district, but a wonderful business address, reminiscent of the colonial days of the British Empire. The building which now houses the Chambers of Kumar & Co. is at No. 84, Bishop Street and is opposite Public Bank as well as being in the heart of the Financial & Banking District in Georgetown, Penang.
