Tell us what’s on your desk.

Yes. A 30-minute intake session with a senior lawyer is offered at no charge and with no obligation. We use the time to understand your matter, run a conflicts check, and give you a frank assessment of whether we are the right firm. If we are not, we will direct you to one we trust.

Most engagements are billed at an hourly rate, but we offer fixed fees and capped retainers for well-defined matters. Every engagement begins with a written cost estimate. You will not receive an unexpected invoice from Partugatrab.

Yes. Our Shariah and Islamic Finance practice covers sukuk structuring, takaful documentation, wakaf arrangements, and compliance reviews for financial institutions regulated under Malaysia's Islamic Financial Services Act 2013. We work closely with Shariah advisors and the Securities Commission where required.

Absolutely. Cross-border commerce is central to our practice. We advise on trade agreements, foreign direct investment structures, export compliance, and international commercial contracts involving Malaysia and ASEAN counterparties. We maintain working relationships with trusted local counsel across the region.

For most new matters, intake and a conflicts check are completed within 24 hours, and substantive work can begin the same business day. Time-sensitive matters — such as injunctions or regulatory deadlines — should be flagged clearly in the inquiry form and followed up by phone.
