Our skills as lawyers continue beyond the courthouse steps. Our clients regularly call upon us to help them negotiate their issues and draft formal written agreements outside court. While few people actively want to end up in a courtroom, the emotionally charged atmosphere surrounding family law issues can make negotiations outside of court difficult. Our skills and sensitivity in this field can help break those difficult deadlocks. Our expertise can also identify critical issues you may need to consider.
Even if you have successfully negotiated an agreement outside of court without the assistance of a lawyer, it is still important to have a lawyer draft up or review that agreement. The Supreme Court of Malaysia has indicated that settlements where lawyers are involved in negotiating, drafting or at least reviewing the final agreement are more enforceable than agreements prepared without a lawyer’s involvement. Our lawyers have extensive experience in preparing formal written agreements.
