You may view and print content for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, or adapt any content without our written consent. Legal advice delivered in connection with an engagement is prepared for your use in that specific matter and should not be relied upon in other contexts without further advice.

7. Fees and Payment

All fees are denominated in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and are set out in the Engagement Letter prior to commencement of work. Fees for company secretarial services are structured as an annual retainer. Litigation and advisory fees are estimated at the outset and updated as necessary. Invoices are due within 14 days of issue unless otherwise agreed. Late payment may attract interest at the rate permitted by Malaysian law.

8. Service-Specific Terms — Legal Services

Engagement timelines for litigation depend on court scheduling and are not within our control. Estimates of duration are indicative only. Changes in scope arising from new facts or legal developments will be communicated and agreed in writing. For advisory engagements, deliverables are described in the Engagement Letter and are intended for use in the specific context described. For company secretarial retainers, the annual fee covers standard scope; unusual or complex changes outside normal scope will be discussed and priced separately.

9. Disclaimers

We make no representation that the information on this website is current, complete, or applicable to your specific circumstances. Results from legal proceedings cannot be assured, and nothing in our communications should be read as a commitment to a particular outcome.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by Malaysian law, our aggregate liability in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the fees paid by you for the specific matter giving rise to the claim. We shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or special loss arising from the use of this website or the provision of Services, including loss of business opportunity, data, or revenue.
