Disputes
Civil & Commercial Litigation
Preparation decides disputes. We prepare every case as if it will be heard through to judgment — which is also, in our experience, what produces sensible settlement offers from the other side. Where negotiation or mediation can resolve a matter on good terms without proceedings, we say so, and pursue it. The firm appears in civil and commercial matters across the Malaysian courts.

- Letters of Demand and Pre-Action Strategy
- Negotiation, Mediation and Settlement Agreements
- Debt Recovery
- Contractual Disputes
- Sale & Purchase and Tenancy Disputes
- Land Disputes
- Director and Shareholder Disputes
- Partnership Disputes
- Fraud Claims
- Defamation
- Estate and Probate Claims
Property
Conveyancing & Real Estate
For most clients, a property transaction is the largest financial decision of their lives. We act in acquisitions, disposals, leasing and financing of residential and commercial property, and we explain each step — and each document you're signing — before you sign it. Conveyancing fees follow the statutory scale, so you know the cost from the outset.

- Tenancy Agreements
- Transfers of Property and Shares
- Loan and Facility Agreements
- Discharge of Charge
- Deeds of Receipt and Reassignment
- Entry and Removal of Caveats

Business
Corporate & Commercial
A well-drafted agreement is the one you never have to look at again. We draft and review the agreements that hold business relationships together — and because the firm also litigates, we draft with a clear view of what actually goes wrong when these documents are tested.
What we handle
- Shareholders Agreements
- Joint Venture Agreements
- Share Sale Agreements
- Partnership Agreements
- Supply and Services Agreements
- Non-Disclosure Agreements
- Employment Agreements and Handbooks

Wills, Probate & Administration
Administering a loved one's estate is paperwork at the worst possible time. We take the procedural weight off the family — from drafting a clear will now, to obtaining the grant and distributing the estate later — and we advise plainly where a will is contested or an administration goes wrong.
What we handle
- Wills and Estate Planning Instruments
- Powers of Attorney
- Grants of Probate
- Letters of Administration
- Resealing of Foreign Grants
- Small Estate Distribution Orders
- Removal of Executors and Administrators

Business
Employment Law
We act for both employers and employees, which keeps our advice grounded: we know what the other side of the table will argue. For employers, that means processes that hold up when challenged. For employees, it means a realistic assessment of a dismissal or retrenchment before you commit to a claim.
What we handle
- Employment Contracts and Policies
- Disciplinary Procedures and Domestic Inquiries
- Termination and Dismissal Advice
- Unfair Dismissal Claims
- Retrenchment Exercises
- Industrial Relations Matters
Private client
Divorce & Family Matters
Matrimonial matters are draining in ways that go well beyond the legal issues. Our role is to keep the process steady: to protect your interests and your children's, to keep temperature low where possible, and to be direct with you about what a court is and isn't likely to order.
What we handle
- Divorce Proceedings — Contested and Uncontested
- Judicial Separation and Annulment
- Registration of Overseas Divorces
- Division of Matrimonial Property
- Spousal and Child Maintenance
- Child Custody, Care and Control
- Protection Orders
- Adoption
Business
Trademark Matters
Your name and mark are often the most valuable things your business owns, and the cheapest to protect — if it's done before someone else moves first. We handle registration and protection of trademarks in Malaysia and coordinate filings abroad, and we act where a mark is copied or challenged.
What we handle
- Trademark Searches and Registrability Advice
- Trademark Applications in Malaysia
- International Filing Coordination
- Oppositions and Office Actions
- Infringement and Passing-Off Matters
- Assignments and Licensing
Disputes
Personal Injury Claims
After a road accident, the practical questions arrive quickly — medical bills, lost income, an insurer on the phone. We act for drivers, motorcyclists, passengers and pedestrians in pursuing the compensation the law provides for injury, pain and suffering, loss of earnings and medical expenses.
What we handle
- Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
- Claims for Pain and Suffering
- Loss of Earnings and Earning Capacity
- Medical and Rehabilitation Expenses
- Dealings with Insurers and Adjusters
- Dependency Claims
Disputes
Bankruptcy & Winding Up
Insolvency law is a tool — for creditors recovering what they're owed, and for debtors who need breathing room and a defensible position. We act on both sides, from statutory demands through to winding-up petitions and the disputes that follow them.
What we handle
- Statutory Notices and Demands
- Bankruptcy Proceedings
- Winding-Up Petitions
- Opposing Bankruptcy and Winding-Up Actions
- Debt Recovery Strategy
