Engagement Terms
A formal engagement with Pravum commences only upon execution of a signed engagement letter. No solicitor-client relationship is formed by the mere submission of an enquiry form or an initial consultation.
The engagement letter will specify the scope of work, the fee structure, points at which the matter may be re-evaluated, and the professional obligations of both parties. Any changes to the scope of work will be agreed in writing.
Confidentiality obligations consistent with the rules of the Malaysian Bar apply from the point at which a client shares information in connection with a potential engagement, whether or not a formal retainer is subsequently entered into.
08
Disclaimers
The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. It should not be relied upon as a substitute for specific legal advice relevant to your situation.
No representation is made that the outcome of any legal matter will be favourable. The conduct and outcome of criminal proceedings depends on many factors, including the evidence, the applicable law, and the decisions of the court.
The website is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not warrant that it will be error-free or uninterrupted, and we reserve the right to update or withdraw content at any time.
09
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by Malaysian law, Pravum's liability arising from or connected to use of this website is limited to cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
Pravum is not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental losses arising from your use of this website or from reliance on its content.
Liability arising in connection with legal services provided under an engagement letter is governed by the terms of that letter and applicable professional liability standards.
10
Termination
Either party may terminate a formal engagement by providing reasonable written notice, subject to the terms of the engagement letter and any court obligations that may require a smooth transition of representation.
Pravum reserves the right to decline or discontinue an engagement in circumstances permitted by the rules of the Malaysian Bar, including where a conflict of interest arises or where professional conduct obligations cannot be met.
11

These terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any dispute arising from the use of this website or the provision of services is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia.
Before commencing formal proceedings, parties agree to attempt resolution through direct communication in good faith. Complaints relating to professional conduct may also be referred to the Malaysian Bar.
