Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about corporate legal services in Malaysia
What types of companies do you work with?
LegalMBase works with private and public enterprises, subsidiaries of multinational groups, and locally incorporated companies in Malaysia. Engagement scope is tailored to company size and regulatory context.
How do you start an engagement?
Initial engagement begins with an intake call to clarify objectives and key documents. LegalMBase then proposes a scope of work and fee estimate, followed by a written engagement letter outlining deliverables and timelines.
Do you provide ongoing retainer services?
Ongoing advisory arrangements can be provided where needed. These are structured with defined scopes, response parameters, and review points, and are documented in the engagement terms.
Can you assist with regulatory filings in Malaysia?
LegalMBase prepares and reviews documentation required for regulatory filings and advises on steps. For certain filings that require authorised agents, we coordinate with qualified local representatives to complete submissions.
What languages are used in documentation?
Documentation is prepared in English unless a specific requirement for another language is agreed. Key documents can include bilingual explanations where helpful for operational teams.
How long does a compliance assessment take?
Timelines depend on company size and scope; a focused assessment may take a few weeks, while a comprehensive program review may take longer. LegalMBase provides an estimated timeline when agreeing the scope.
Will you represent the company in disputes?
LegalMBase provides dispute advisory and can assist in preparing position papers and settlement options. Where court representation or litigation management is required, we outline the steps and suitable external counsel arrangements if necessary.
How are fees structured?
Fees are charged based on the agreed engagement model: fixed fee for defined deliverables, hourly rates for advisory work, or structured retainers for ongoing services. Fee estimates are provided prior to engagement.
What information do you need to start a review?
Typical starting documents include constitutive documents, recent board minutes, standard contracts, policy documents, and any regulatory correspondence. A concise factual brief helps to scope the work efficiently.
Do you offer templates for internal use?
Yes. LegalMBase can prepare templates for contracts, board resolutions, and compliance checklists tailored to operational needs and aligned with Malaysian legal considerations.
How do you protect client confidentiality?
Client information is handled in accordance with professional standards and our privacy statement. Engagement terms set out confidentiality obligations and data handling practices.
Can you assist with employment disputes?
We provide advice on employment-related issues, including documentation and process steps. For representation in tribunals or courts, we coordinate with litigation specialists as necessary.
What are typical deliverables from an engagement?
Deliverables often include a written report, recommended amendments to documents, compliance action lists, contract templates, and executive summaries tailored for management review.
How do you ensure recommendations are practical?
Recommendations are developed with input on operational constraints and presented with implementation notes, estimated effort, and suggested owners to support realistic adoption within client teams.
