You may view and print content for your personal, non-commercial reference only. You must not reproduce, publish, or redistribute any content without our prior written consent.

All fees are denominated in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and are confirmed in writing before work commences. Our current starting fees are:

• Estate Planning Consultation: from RM 260
• Probate and Administration Support: from RM 670
• Inheritance Dispute Resolution: from RM 1,520

Additional costs arising from the scope of a matter (for example, court filing fees, disbursements, or additional attendances) will be discussed and agreed before they are incurred. Payment terms are set out in the Engagement Letter. We accept payment by bank transfer or cheque. Fees are generally non-refundable once work has commenced, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

7. Confidentiality

All information you share with us in connection with a legal matter is subject to solicitor-client privilege and our professional duty of confidentiality under the Legal Profession Act 1976. We will not disclose your information to third parties except as required to carry out your instructions or as required by law.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by Malaysian law, our liability to you in connection with any matter shall be limited to the fees paid by you to us for that specific engagement. We shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, or special losses. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded under law.

10. Termination

Either party may end an engagement by giving written notice. If you terminate an engagement in progress, you remain liable for fees in respect of work completed to the date of termination. We may cease acting for you if there is a conflict of interest, if instructions are unlawful, or if continued representation would breach our professional obligations. Clauses relating to confidentiality, payment, and dispute resolution survive termination.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any dispute arising from them shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia.

In the event of a dispute, we ask that you first contact us directly at [email protected] to seek an informal resolution. If the matter cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, either party may refer it to formal proceedings.

Complaints about our professional conduct may also be referred to the Malaysian Bar Council.

• Severability: If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
• Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in future.

• Notices: Formal notices should be sent to [email protected] or our registered office address.
