What Our Clients Say
FAQ on Litigation, Advisory and Dispute Resolution
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cases fall under litigation and dispute resolution?
Litigation and dispute resolution cover a broad range of conflicts, including commercial disputes, breach of contract, shareholder or partnership issues, employment-related claims, defamation, and debt recovery. It also includes construction, project, and professional negligence matters.
What’s the difference between litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR)?
Litigation involves taking a dispute to court, where a judge decides the outcome. ADR, such as mediation or arbitration, allows parties to resolve conflicts privately and often more cost-effectively without going through a full court process.
When should I engage a lawyer for a dispute?
You should consult a lawyer as early as possible — ideally when a disagreement first arises. Early legal advice helps clarify your rights, preserve evidence, and prevent actions that could weaken your position later.
Can a dispute be settled without going to court?
Yes. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration before reaching trial. Our firm often helps clients reach favourable settlements without lengthy court proceedings.
How long does it take to resolve a dispute?
The duration varies depending on the nature and complexity of the case. While mediation or arbitration may conclude within weeks or months, full court litigation can take longer. We focus on achieving efficient outcomes without compromising quality.
What is the process for filing a lawsuit in Malaysia?
Generally, the process begins with a letter of demand, followed by the filing of a claim or writ in court. The opposing party then responds, and both sides exchange documents, attend hearings, and present evidence before a judge delivers a decision.
What documents should I prepare before meeting a litigation lawyer?
Bring all contracts, correspondence, invoices, written agreements, or evidence related to the dispute. The more information you provide, the better your lawyer can assess your position and possible strategies.
What if I receive a letter of demand or legal notice?
Do not ignore it. Contact a lawyer immediately to understand your options and prepare a response. Timely action can prevent the situation from escalating into a lawsuit.
How are legal fees structured for dispute resolution cases?
Fees vary based on the complexity of the case, the time required, and whether the matter proceeds to court. Our firm provides a clear fee structure upfront, including estimated costs for advisory, negotiation, or litigation work.
