A contract has been broken, real money is on the line, and negotiation hasn't worked.
Suing is the obvious next step, but it isn't automatic — the wrong cause of action, a missed limitation period, or a claim brought against a party who can't actually pay leaves you worse off than doing nothing.
Civil Litigation for Breach of Contract
Advice and representation for pursuing a breach of contract claim through the Malaysian High Court — case evaluation, pleadings and filing, conducting the claim to trial, and enforcing the judgment once obtained.

You build the business. We help you protect it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?
Legal That Works is a business and organisation oriented legal service designed by Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co (the firm that has brought the widely known legal consumer services brand ASCOLAW). We specifically help business owners and organisation leadership to navigate Malaysia’s legal terrain to achieve their commercial goal.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
How much does it cost to pursue a breach of contract claim?
It depends on the claim's complexity and how far it proceeds. We scope the fee after an initial case assessment rather than quoting a fixed price upfront.
How long does a High Court claim take?
It depends on how contested the facts are. A straightforward claim moves faster; a heavily disputed one can run well past a year to trial.
Do I have to sue, or are there other options?
No. Depending on the situation, a formal breach notice, negotiation, or a settlement agreement may resolve it faster and more cheaply than litigation.
What if we win but the other side can't pay?
A judgment is only as useful as its enforceability. We assess the other party's ability to pay as part of the case evaluation, before you commit to litigation.
Is there a time limit to bring a claim?
Yes — contract claims are generally subject to a six-year limitation period. Once it expires, the right to sue is lost, so it's worth getting the claim assessed early.
Who will be helping me?
All our services are delivered by our licensed lawyers under the Malaysian Bar with proven experience across industries. You’ll work with a real legal team, not chatbots or generic customer support.
