Usman & Partners

Usman & Partners is a Kota Kinabalu based firm established in 2015 that focuses on family, estates, succession, and business matters. The practice is led by principal Michelle Rossana Usman, an advocate admitted to the High Court of Malaya in January 2011 and to the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak in October 2011. She is a trained collaborative practice lawyer, a licensed company secretary, and an active member of professional bodies that support high standards in client service.

The firm’s model is intentionally personal, with the principal overseeing each matter from first consultation through resolution. Clients turn to the firm for clear, confidential guidance delivered with empathy and practical problem solving. Whether the engagement calls for consultation, mediation, or representation, the team prioritizes attentive listening and precise advice so clients can make informed decisions with confidence.

For individuals and families, the firm assists with marriage and separation issues, child arrangements, and long term estate and succession planning. For business owners, it pairs legal counsel with company secretarial capability to support governance, transactions, and regulatory compliance as enterprises grow. Across all instructions, the firm emphasizes plain language communication, realistic strategies, and timely execution.
