Kuala Lumpur, 24 July 2025 — More than 500 distinguished bankers, lawyers, and members of the media gathered last night at the stylish SOL @ The Met for Baker Tilly Malaysia’s much-anticipated Annual Bankers & Lawyers Night — a celebration of collaboration, camaraderie, and appreciation.

This year’s event was made even more special with the presence of YB Anthony Loke, Minister of Transport, who joined in the festivities, lending his support to the importance of collaboration between the professional services, legal, and financial communities in advancing Malaysia’s economic growth.

What began years ago as a modest appreciation night for the bankers and lawyers who work closely with the firm has since evolved into a hallmark occasion — now regarded by many as THE networking event of the year for Malaysia’s financial and legal circles. It is where the who’s who of the industry converge, and where receiving an invitation has become a social highlight of the year for bankers and lawyers across the city.

Many of these professionals work closely with Baker Tilly on a wide range of engagements — particularly in the areas of insolvency and restructuring, as well as initial public offerings (IPOs) and other capital market-related advisory. The event served not only as a gesture of appreciation, but also as a testament to the strong, strategic partnerships that power these critical services.

entertainment, reflecting the firm’s commitment to fostering enduring relationships with its professional
partners. As Baker Tilly Malaysia continues to grow and expand its footprint, this annual event
underscores the importance of partnership, trust, and shared vision in shaping the future of business and
professional excellence.
