Our services

Construction, an area which is often used a barometer of the economy, is absolutely vital as the world is constantly under construction - be it from small towns or sprawling cosmopolitans.

‍

With so much dynamism involved in this area, the need to regulate construction processes and to ensure a smooth process from start to finish is highly important.

‍

Here in Ho Partnership, we specialise in construction claims.

‍

We often deal with construction, energy and infrastructure related disputes by way of litigation in Courts or arbitration, adjudication or mediation. Additionally, we offer thorough evaluations of a broad spectrum of construction contracts, from pre-contract negotiations to post-contract award stages.

‍

We regularly act for property developers, landowners, architects, engineers, contractors and sub-contractors.

‍

We also regularly advise both local and international construction companies on various contractual and payment disputes such as those in relation to interim claims or certificates, final accounts, extension of time, loss and expense claims and liquidated ascertained damages. These disputes are dealt with by way of litigation in Courts or through arbitration, adjudication and mediation - all of which our Firm is well versed with.

This area of law is the main lifeline of a nation's economy. It is also one of our core practice areas in the Firm.​

‍

​Recognising the increased globalisation of the world’s economies, we are well equipped to suit our clients' commercial needs.

‍

From protecting your rights to buy and sell either tangible things like goods or intangible things like intellectual property rights; to creating and maintaining corporations and corporate structures, including buying and selling of shares and the assets of corporations, we provide comprehensive services dealing with contract documentations and general business advisory services including compliance requirements under Malaysian laws relating to company law, directors’ duties & responsibilities, commercial contracts, joint ventures, franchising, licensing, foreign direct investments and many more.

‍

We have also developed a niche in the specific areas of multimedia and electronic laws as well as providing complex legal services to tech or online start-ups which are now making a significant impact not only in Malaysia, but the South East Asian region.

Aside from Construction, Corporate & Commercial and Insolvency, the areas of which our Firm specialises in, our Firm is also experienced in handling a wide spectrum of civil related disputes, such as debt recovery, defamation, land, employment, banking and finance related matters.

‍

In addition to representing clients in all levels of the Malaysian Courts, we regularly advise clients during pre-litigation stage in order to build and strengthen the case or avoid further escalation of disputes.

‍

Having garnered considerable experience in practice, the Partners understand the contemporary predicaments faced by clients and possess the flexibility needed to advise and litigate on any type of case.

Insolvency is an area where its impact is often underestimated but when done right could be critical to the recovery of a business.

‍

Here at our Firm, we recognise the overlap between many other areas of law with insolvency and we strive to find the right balance by providing the best solutions to our clients, particularly insolvency practitioners.

‍

We have extensive experience and specialise in advising and litigating both contentious and non-contentious insolvency matters particularly on receivership, liquidation or winding-up (both compulsory and voluntary), judicial management and bankruptcy related issues.

Perhaps one of the most recognised areas, this area of law involves the legal transfer of property from one party to the other.

‍

On this, we provide advisory services on various aspects of property related transactions including Sale and Purchase Agreements, Lease Agreements and Tenancy Agreements for residential, commercial and industrial properties as well as property projects.
