Last Updated: 14 April 2025  |  Effective Date: 14 April 2025

1. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions, the following terms have the meanings set out below:

• "The Firm" / "We" / "Us" / "Our" refers to Perak Partners, a law firm registered in Malaysia and operating at Level 14, Menara CIMB, Jalan Stesen Sentral 2, 50470 Kuala Lumpur.
• "User" / "You" refers to any person accessing this website or submitting an enquiry.
• "Client" refers to a person or entity that has entered into a signed engagement letter with Perak Partners.
• "Services" refers to the legal advisory services offered by the Firm, as described on this website and in engagement letters.
• "Engagement Letter" refers to the written agreement setting out the scope, fee, and terms of a specific engagement between the Firm and a Client.
• "Website" refers to the Perak Partners website accessible at perakpar.pro.
• "Agreement" refers collectively to these Terms and Conditions and any applicable engagement letter.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing this website or submitting an enquiry, you confirm that you have read and understood these Terms and Conditions and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use this website or submit an enquiry.

A formal legal advisory relationship is established only upon execution of a signed engagement letter. Submitting an enquiry form does not create an advisory relationship, does not obligate the Firm to take on the matter, and does not constitute legal advice.

You must be at least 18 years of age and have full legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement in order to engage our services.

3. Description of Services

Perak Partners provides legal advisory services in the area of banking and finance law in Malaysia. The Firm's three principal service areas are:

1. Facility Agreement Review for Borrowers — review and commentary on term loans, revolving facilities, and project financing documentation
2. Debt Restructuring & Scheme Advisory — advisory services for companies managing covenant pressure, debt maturity, and lender negotiations
3. Regulatory Advisory — advisory on BNM regulatory frameworks, SC licensing, and Islamic finance structuring

Services are available to clients in Malaysia. The Firm does not hold itself out as qualified to advise on the laws of any jurisdiction other than Malaysia. Where a matter requires advice on foreign law, the client is responsible for engaging appropriately qualified foreign counsel.

4. Website Use

4.1 Permitted Use

You may use this website for the purpose of learning about the Firm's services and submitting an enquiry. All other commercial use of the website content is prohibited without prior written consent.

4.2 Prohibited Activities

• Attempting to access the Firm's systems or data without authorisation
• Transmitting malware, spam, or content that is unlawful, defamatory, or misleading
• Scraping or reproducing website content without permission
• Impersonating any person or entity in communications with the Firm

4.3 Website Accuracy

Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied on as such. The content is current as at the date indicated but may not reflect subsequent changes in law or practice.

5. Enquiries and Engagement

Submitting an enquiry through this website initiates a conflict-of-interest check and a preliminary review of whether the Firm can assist. The Firm will respond to enquiries within one working day. A response to an enquiry does not constitute the commencement of legal services.

Legal services commence only upon the execution of a written engagement letter signed by both the client and an authorised representative of Perak Partners. The engagement letter sets out the scope of work, the agreed fee, any relevant exclusions, and the expected turnaround.

6. Fees and Payment

The base fees for standard engagement types are published on this website. These fees apply to the scope described. Where a matter is materially more complex than the standard engagement, scope and fee will be agreed in writing before work begins.

Invoices are issued upon completion of the engagement or, for longer engagements, at milestones agreed in the engagement letter. Payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing. Disbursements (including filing fees, courier charges, and third-party costs) are invoiced separately where applicable.

Fees are stated in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise noted. The Firm reserves the right to suspend work on an engagement where an outstanding invoice remains unpaid beyond its due date.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, structure, graphics, and design — is the property of Perak Partners or its licensors and is protected under applicable Malaysian intellectual property law. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive licence to view and access website content for personal, non-commercial use only.

Written deliverables produced under an engagement letter — including facility agreement commentaries, restructuring term sheets, and regulatory submissions — are provided to the client under the terms of the engagement letter. The client may use these deliverables for the purpose for which they were prepared. Redistribution or publication of written deliverables requires the Firm's prior written consent.

8. Confidentiality and Legal Professional Privilege

All communications between a client and Perak Partners in connection with a legal matter are protected by legal professional privilege under Malaysian law. The Firm will not disclose confidential client communications or materials to third parties except as required by law, court order, or with the client's written consent.

Enquiry submissions through this website are treated as confidential, though privilege attaches formally only upon establishment of a solicitor-client relationship through a signed engagement letter.

9. Disclaimers

The Firm does not make any representation that legal services will produce a particular outcome. The advice provided by Perak Partners reflects the Firm's considered professional view based on information provided by the client and applicable Malaysian law. It does not constitute a warranty or assurance of any specific result.

Website content is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The Firm does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or currency of information on this website.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Firm's liability to a client in respect of any engagement is limited to the fee paid for that engagement, to the extent permitted by Malaysian law and the rules of the Malaysian Bar. The Firm is not liable for indirect, consequential, or special loss or damage arising from the use of this website or from reliance on general information published on it.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be excluded under Malaysian law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify Perak Partners against any claims, losses, or expenses (including legal costs) arising from your breach of these Terms and Conditions, your misuse of this website, or any fraudulent or misleading information you provide to the Firm.

12. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by written notice. Where the client terminates an engagement after work has commenced, a fee proportionate to the work completed is payable. Where the Firm terminates an engagement, any work completed and paid for remains the client's property under the engagement letter terms.

The Firm may decline to act or terminate an engagement where a conflict of interest arises, where the client's instructions require conduct that conflicts with the Firm's professional obligations, or where the engagement letter conditions are not met.

13. Dispute Resolution

Where a dispute arises in connection with these terms or a legal services engagement, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve it through direct discussion. If a resolution is not reached within 30 days, either party may refer the matter to mediation. In the event that mediation does not resolve the dispute, the matter may be referred to the Malaysian courts.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Malaysia. The courts of Malaysia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms.

14. General Provisions

14.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with any applicable engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter. They supersede all prior discussions, representations, and agreements.

14.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

14.3 Waiver

Failure by the Firm to enforce any provision of these Terms and Conditions does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce that provision in the future.

14.4 Assignment

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions without the Firm's prior written consent. The Firm may assign its obligations to a successor entity or qualified practitioner with written notice to the client.

15. Changes to These Terms

The Firm may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The updated terms will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. For active engagements, material changes to terms will be communicated in writing.
