Noraishah Ismail is a Partner of Fahda Nur & Yusmadi with over two decades of experience in corporate and commercial law, conveyancing, and estate planning.

Her practice spans a broad spectrum of advisory and transactional work, including corporate exercises, regulatory compliance, real estate transactions, and Muslim estate planning. She is particularly recognised for her expertise in corporate advisory, where she assists corporations in making commercial decisions in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Having served both in private practice and as in-house counsel, Noraishah brings a well-rounded perspective in advising clients ranging from corporations and government-linked entities to individuals and growing enterprises.

Noraishah began her legal career at Zain & Co, where she was involved in corporate and commercial work, particularly in mergers and acquisitions and commercial documentation.

She later joined Bursa Malaysia Berhad as in-house counsel, where she played a key role in reviewing and formulating amendments to listing requirements, rules, and corporate governance frameworks, particularly during Bursa Malaysia’s transition into a listed entity. Her experience in this role established her strong foundation in corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and capital market requirements.

Returning to private practice in 2007 as a partner at Adi & Co, she expanded her expertise into conveyancing and real estate, while also developing a specialised interest in Muslim estate planning and administration, shaped by practical experience in handling estate-related complications arising in transactions.

Since joining Fahda Nur & Yusmadi in 2018, Noraishah has continued to advise a diverse range of clients, including private companies, government-linked corporations, start-ups, and individual clients. Her multidisciplinary experience enables her to deliver practical, structured and effective legal solutions, particularly in transactions requiring coordination across corporate, property, and estate considerations.
