Practice Areas

What the firm undertakes

The firm's work falls into three principal areas, each described below. Where a matter falls outside these, the firm will say so clearly at the outset.

Considered Advisory Letter

A written letter addressing a particular legal question the client has put to the firm. The letter sets out the relevant framework under Malaysian law, the firm's reading of how that framework applies, and the considerations worth bearing in mind. Delivered within four working weeks.

Contract Review and Negotiation

A review of a contract the client has been asked to sign or has prepared for a counterparty. The firm examines principal commercial terms, risk allocation, and provisions warranting particular attention — and, where appropriate, prepares a redlined version to support written exchanges.

Why Khaolega

How the firm works

Written work, done carefully

The firm's advice is set out in writing — legible, structured, and considered. Clients receive a letter they can read at their own pace and return to when needed.

Grounded in Malaysian law

The firm's work is oriented entirely toward Malaysian law and practice. Advice draws on the statutes, regulations, and common law principles applicable in this jurisdiction.

A consistent point of contact

Clients are not passed among junior staff. The practitioner handling the matter is the practitioner the client hears from, at every stage.

Plain, direct language

Legal advice benefits no one if it cannot be understood. The firm writes in plain English, and explains technical terms where they are unavoidable.

Realistic timelines

The firm commits to delivery windows that it keeps. Where a matter requires more time, the client is informed before the deadline rather than after it.

Discretion as standard

Client matters are treated with the confidentiality that professional conduct rules require. Correspondence is handled with appropriate care at every stage.

A brief note is often all that is needed to begin.

If you have a legal question you would like the firm to consider, or a contract you would like reviewed, write or telephone. The firm will respond to confirm whether the matter falls within its practice and to suggest how to proceed.

Common Questions

Questions the firm is often asked

Does an initial enquiry commit me to engaging the firm? +

No. Writing or telephoning to describe a matter does not establish a solicitor-client relationship. The firm will respond to your enquiry and, if the matter is one it can assist with, will set out its terms of engagement in writing. The relationship formally begins only when those terms are agreed by both parties.

How long does a Considered Advisory Letter take to prepare? +

The firm undertakes to deliver a Considered Advisory Letter within four working weeks of receiving the relevant documents and agreeing the scope of the matter. Where a question is particularly complex, the firm will advise you at the outset if a longer period is required.

Are the fees shown on the website fixed? +

The figures shown are indicative. A Considered Advisory Letter is fixed at RM 1,860 for a standard matter. Contract review is indicated from RM 2,640 per matter, though the final fee depends on the length and complexity of the contract. The Standing Counsel Arrangement is RM 4,180 per quarter. All fees are agreed in writing before work commences.

Can the firm advise on matters governed by laws outside Malaysia? +

The firm's practice is grounded in Malaysian law. Where a contract or matter involves a foreign governing law, the firm will note that limitation clearly and, where appropriate, suggest that the client seek advice from a practitioner qualified in the relevant jurisdiction.

What types of business does the Standing Counsel Arrangement suit? +

The arrangement is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises that encounter routine legal questions in the course of their operations — around employment, supplier contracts, or general regulatory matters — but do not have in-house legal counsel. It provides access to the firm at defined intervals without the need to engage separately for each question.

How is client confidentiality maintained? +

The firm adheres to the professional conduct rules of the Bar Council Malaysia, which impose strict obligations of confidentiality. Client information is not disclosed to third parties without the client's written consent, except where required by law. Documents are stored and transmitted with appropriate care.
