Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a civil case take in Malaysia?

Timelines vary widely depending on the complexity of the dispute, the court, and whether the matter settles before trial. A straightforward claim may resolve in months, while a contested commercial dispute that goes to trial and appeal can take considerably longer. We give you a realistic timeline once we understand the facts of your matter.

Do you handle debt recovery claims?

Yes. We act for businesses and individuals recovering unpaid debts, from formal demand letters through to filing suit, obtaining judgment, and enforcement — including winding-up and bankruptcy proceedings where appropriate.

What's the difference between litigation and arbitration?

Litigation takes place in the courts and follows court procedure, with a right of appeal. Arbitration is a private process before an arbitrator or panel, often faster and confidential, and is commonly used where the underlying contract contains an arbitration clause. We advise on which route applies to your matter and represent you in either forum.

How much does litigation cost?

Costs depend on the complexity of the dispute, the court involved, and how far the matter proceeds before resolution. Contact us with the details of your matter and we will provide a clear fee estimate before any work begins.
