Shahril has extensive experience in the privatisation of highways, utilities and ports both in Malaysia and abroad. He has in the past been regularly consulted by the Prime Minister Department, the Ministry of Finance and other ministries, on issues relating to privatisation, hence enjoyed a good relationship with the Malaysian Government.

He was also the legal adviser in respect of the Power Purchase Agreement and the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract for the Bakun hydro-electric dam project in Sarawak.

In 2019, Shahril had, through his company Golden Skies Ventures Sdn Bhd, submitted a bidding for the take-over of Malaysia Aviation Group Bhd (the holding company of Malaysia Airlines Bhd).
