Hi, I’m Marcus van Geyzel.

PLVG is recommended in The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2016 and 2017 for (1) banking and finance; (2) capital markets; (3) corporate and M&A; and (4) labour and employment. The firm won the ‘Rising Law Firm of the Year’ award at the Asian Legal Business Malaysia Law Awards 2016.

I’m an experienced lawyer and business advisor, including advice on Corporate/M&A, capital markets, employment law, and everything related to business and commerce. I have a reputation for delivering high-quality, commercially-relevant advice. Always.
