The government has taken great effort to transform the country’s economy into the knowledge-based economy and entrepreneur has been identified as one of the key elements to the development of the knowledge economy.

For the law graduates in Malaysia, the job opportunities are multi structured whereby they could either be in the judiciary, corporate and banking sectors or conduct private practice. In most circumstances, law graduates will be attached to private practices and this eventually will lead to most of them opening their own legal firm.
