Principled Advocacy. Practical Results.
I am Jeanne Francis — an Advocate & Solicitor with over 2 decades of dedicated practice across Malaysian courts, holding qualifications from Bond University, Australia and Universiti Malaya.
Founded by Jeanne Francis, Jeanne Francis & Associates was established with a clear mission — to provide accessible, strategic, and resolute legal representation to individuals and businesses across Malaysia.
Having earned a Bachelor of Laws from Bond University and a Master of Laws from Universiti Malaya, Jeanne brings a strong dual perspective shaped by both common law traditions and the practical realities of the Malaysian legal landscape.
The firm maintains a broad and dynamic practice across criminal, civil, and commercial law. Jeanne is particularly active in criminal litigation and has extensive experience handling complex remand hearings, bail applications, mitigation proceedings, written representations to the Deputy Public Prosecutor, criminal trials, and matters involving foreign nationals facing criminal investigations and prosecution in Malaysia.
In civil and commercial practice, the firm regularly advises and represents clients in debt recovery and collection matters, breach of contract disputes, divorce and family proceedings, contested adoption applications, injunction proceedings, tenancy disputes, and a wide range of commercial and property transactions, including sale and purchase agreements and auction matters.
With extensive courtroom and advisory experience, the firm represents clients in high-stakes disputes with precision, discipline, and strategic focus. Every client receives personal attention, practical advice, and a strategy tailored to their specific circumstances. Whether advocating in court or negotiating across the table, the firm is committed to protecting clients’ interests, managing risk, and delivering outcomes that are both legally sound and commercially practical.
