Yes. Given our strategic partnerships with service providers and law firms across APAC, MENA, and Europe, we are well-positioned to work alongside our strategic partners to support you with cross-border or international matters. Our legal partnerships include law firms in offshore financial centres such as the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, which are key locations for international finance and corporate services. This global network enables us to offer comprehensive legal support and facilitate seamless legal proceedings across multiple jurisdictions.
We are able to assist clients in all the main languages spoken in Malaysia. For languages not commonly used within the country, we are supported by our strategic legal partners to provide assistance as needed. Our client management system prioritizes the client's interests, ensuring clear, concise, and confident communication. Whenever necessary, we engage with the required translators or legal partners to jointly undertake the engagement.
Yes, we do charge a consultation fee. Our consultations are carried out after we have requested, perused, examined, and analysed the preliminary information and documents provided. This preparation ensures that we can have a productive and focused consultation session. The consultation fee accounts for the time our team invests in preparing and providing you with tailored legal advice. Instead of gathering information during the consultation, having access to relevant documents and details ahead of time allows us to offer actionable legal advice and a thorough analysis of your matter right from the start. This approach maximises the value of the time spent during our consultation, ensuring that we address your concerns efficiently and effectively.
The consultation fee must be paid upon confirmation of an appointment. The consultation fee is non-refundable. However, you may reschedule your consultation within 4 weeks from the date your appointment is confirmed without incurring an additional fee.
Consultation fee must be paid ahead of any consultation.
Our firm offers transparent and competitive fee structures. Our fee proposal typically includes a fixed fee for a definitive scope of work. Hourly rates would apply only when the nature of the engagement or additional scope of work cannot be determined in advance. Payments are made via bank transfers. However, should you require alternative payment arrangements such as part payments, instalments, or credit card payments, please mention this to our assigned legal counsel and we will make alternative arrangements upon assessing your request.
Yes, whenever such a need arises. We typically address all inquiries and requests during office hours to uphold a healthy work-life balance for our lawyers, enabling them to work efficiently and effectively on your case. Nonetheless, we recognise that clients may have urgent questions or require updates beyond our regular office hours. In such situations, we will endeavour to accommodate your need for updates outside of office hours. Our firm is committed to maintaining accessible communication channels, and we provide contact information for emergencies or time-sensitive matters.

It would be helpful for you to provide any relevant documents, contracts, records, and trails of communications, such as emails, texts, screenshots, or any evidence related to your case, to the initial consultation. This will enable us to better understand your situation and provide accurate advice tailored to your circumstances. As preliminary information will be requested ahead of the consultation, our legal counsel will also notify you of any specific information or documents they may require for the matter.
