Back to HomeHow We Approach Each Engagement
Methodology
Initial Consultation
We discuss your matter and confirm which service fits your needs, outlining realistic expectations from the outset.
Written Engagement
A letter of engagement is issued, confirming scope, fee, and expected deliverables before work begins.
Service Delivery
We carry out the agreed work — with updates at key stages — and deliver the promised output on schedule.
Debrief & Next Steps
We walk through findings and recommendations, ensuring you understand the outcome and any further options available to you.
Service 1
Employment Contract Review
A thorough review of employment contracts, offer letters, and service agreements against the Employment Act 1955 and its current amendments. We identify clauses that may place either party at a disadvantage — whether through ambiguous terms, non-compliant provisions, or omissions that create unnecessary risk — and suggest balanced revisions. Suitable for employers drafting or updating standard employment terms and for employees reviewing an offer before signing.
What is included
- Review against Employment Act 1955 and 2022 amendments
- Annotated contract with observations and suggested revisions
- Summary memo in plain language detailing key findings
- Post-delivery Q&A call to clarify any findings
Fixed Fee
RM 560
Turnaround: 5–7 working days
Service 2
Workplace Dispute Resolution
Representation and advisory for employment disputes arising from termination, constructive dismissal, or unfair labour practices. We assist at the conciliation stage with the Department of Labour and, where required, in proceedings before the Industrial Court. Both employers preparing a response and employees evaluating their options following dismissal will find a structured, measured approach to their matter. A case assessment report is prepared at the outset to clarify the situation and recommended course of action.
What is included
- Case assessment report with recommended approach
- Representation at Department of Labour conciliation
- Hearing preparation and Industrial Court representation
- Regular progress updates throughout proceedings

Designed for companies seeking assurance that their practices align with regulatory requirements, or those preparing for external scrutiny. The engagement spans three to six weeks and concludes with a structured gap analysis report and prioritised remediation plan.

Standards Across All Services
How We Deliver
Strict Confidentiality
All client information is handled with the confidentiality obligations that apply to Malaysian Bar members. Documents and correspondence are stored securely.
Written Scope Before Work Begins
No substantive work begins without a confirmed written engagement letter. This protects both parties and ensures clarity on what is and is not included.
Quality-Reviewed Outputs
All written deliverables — memos, reports, and recommendations — are reviewed by a senior team member before being presented to the client.
Regular Progress Updates
Clients receive updates at key milestones. For dispute matters, a regular check-in schedule is agreed at the outset.
Conflict of Interest Check
Each new engagement is assessed for potential conflicts of interest before the firm accepts the instruction, ensuring independent and impartial counsel.
Post-Delivery Debrief
Completion of each service includes a debrief discussion to ensure you understand the findings and are clear on any further steps or considerations.
