Considered Legal Counsel for Malaysian Business

We work with trading companies, logistics providers, manufacturers, hotel operators, travel agencies, and entrepreneurs entering collaborative ventures. Our practice is suited to businesses operating within or entering the Malaysian market, particularly those with a connection to Melaka or the broader peninsula.

The timeline depends on the complexity of the matter and whether any regulatory proceedings are involved. Straightforward tariff consultations may conclude within two to three weeks, while customs audit preparation or Tribunal representation will naturally take longer. We will give you a realistic estimate at the outset of the engagement.

Yes. While our office is based in Melaka, we advise hospitality and tourism operators across Malaysia. The Tourism Industry Act 1992 and related licensing requirements apply nationwide, and our familiarity with regulatory practice across the peninsula enables us to assist clients wherever they are located.

It is helpful to bring a brief description of your business, any correspondence with regulatory bodies, existing contracts or licenses relevant to the matter, and a summary of the outcome you are hoping to achieve. We do not expect you to have all of this at the outset — the consultation itself is often the best place to start.

Fees are discussed and agreed before work begins. Our published prices represent the starting point for each practice area. The actual fee depends on the scope and complexity of your matter. We set this out clearly in our engagement letter so there are no surprises during the process.

We begin with a structured discussion with all parties to understand the venture's commercial objectives, each party's contribution, and the intended governance model. From that, we prepare a draft agreement for review, then incorporate agreed revisions. Typical engagements of this nature span two to four weeks from the initial discussion to the execution-ready document.
