A dispute is settled in a meeting. A figure is agreed, a payment is made, and both sides consider it over.
Then a related claim appears, or the settlement covered only part of the dispute, or the release was worded so narrowly that the matter can be reopened on a slightly different basis.
Settlement and Compromise Agreement
Settlement documentation covering the terms agreed, payment and timing, the scope of the release, confidentiality and non-disparagement, admissions or the absence of them, and enforcement if terms are not met.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
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.
What should the release cover?
As much of the underlying dispute as the other side will agree to. Narrow releases leave the matter open.
Should we admit liability?
Usually settlements are expressed without admission. We will draft accordingly.
What if they do not pay?
The agreement should provide for enforcement, including a consent judgment mechanism where appropriate.
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.
