Our Services
Three services, one area of law
We keep our scope deliberate. Employment and workplace matters are all we do, which means every service we offer is grounded in day-to-day familiarity with the field.

How we work through a matter
Listen & understand
Before we say anything about law, we want to understand the full picture of what happened. Employment disputes have context that statutes and case law cannot capture on their own.
Assess honestly
We give you our candid view of how your situation sits against the legislation and the Industrial Court's record on similar cases — including aspects that may not favour your position.
Outline realistic options
We set out the pathways available — internal grievance, IRD conciliation, formal representation — and what each one requires, so you can decide without feeling pushed in a particular direction.
Service 01 — Employee
Employee Rights Consultation & Strategy Session
A confidential, one-off session for employees facing dismissal, constructive dismissal, unfair treatment, workplace harassment complaints, or non-payment issues. We explain the remedies available under the Employment Act 1955 (as amended), the Industrial Relations Act 1967, and relevant case law, including the Section 20 representation process at the Industrial Relations Department.
The meeting includes document review, a candid assessment of the matter's strengths and limitations, and an outline of realistic pathways — whether that is internal grievance, mediation, conciliation, or formal representation. We will not press you toward litigation; our role is to help you see the full picture.
What is covered
- Review of your employment contract and relevant correspondence
- Assessment of whether a Section 20 representation is viable
- Explanation of remedies: reinstatement, back wages, compensation in lieu
- Guidance on the 60-day lodgement window at the IRD
- Written summary of advice sent within two working days
How we approach it
You share the background — we listen without interrupting to form assumptions.
We review your documents and identify the key legal issues they raise.
We explain what the law says and what outcomes are realistic — candidly, including weaknesses.
We confirm what you would need to do next for each available pathway.

Service 02 — Employer
Employer HR Policy Review & Handbook Drafting
Considered drafting and review of employee handbooks, HR policies, disciplinary procedures, grievance protocols, and contract templates for SMEs and mid-sized employers. We align documents with current Malaysian employment law (including recent amendments on flexible working and paternity leave), the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, and sector-relevant standards.
Our engagement includes stakeholder interviews with HR and line managers, a gap analysis against current practice, drafting with tracked changes, and a staff rollout briefing. The goal is a set of documents that people can actually follow, not shelf-filler.

Industrial Court Representation & Dispute Resolution

The engagement covers Form N preparation, statement of case and reply drafting, pre-hearing case management, witness preparation, documentary discovery, hearing advocacy, and post-award advice including judicial review considerations.
Throughout the process we favour negotiated settlement where it fairly serves our client's interests, and approach the court room with thorough preparation rather than theatrics.

- Form N / Form A preparation and lodgement
- Statement of case and reply drafting
- Pre-hearing case management appearances
- Documentary discovery and bundles

Confidentiality
Legal professional privilege protects everything you share with us.
Candid Assessment
We tell you what the facts support, including where they do not support what you want to hear.
Written Outputs
Summaries, draft documents, and advice in writing so you have something to refer back to.
Settlement Focus
We pursue fair resolution at every stage rather than prolonging matters unnecessarily.
