§ 3.0 — Engagement
Is there a matter we can assist with?
Fee structures and scope of engagement are discussed at the outset of each matter, so there are no ambiguities as the work proceeds.
§ 4.0 — Distinguishing Characteristics
How We Approach Each Matter
Working with Corvus Legal means a structured engagement with clear documentation and direct communication throughout.
Written Scope at Outset
Engagement terms and fee structures are documented before work begins, so clients understand the scope of the engagement from the first communication.
Focused Practice Areas
The firm concentrates on three defined areas, allowing each team member to develop and maintain depth in their respective field rather than spreading across all matters.
Malaysian Regulatory Knowledge
Practice is grounded in Malaysian law, including familiarity with Bank Negara Malaysia guidelines, the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia procedures, and relevant Malaysian statutes.
Accessible Communication
Correspondence and advice are written in straightforward language. Where technical legal language is necessary, it is explained clearly rather than left to interpretation.
Defined Timelines
Each engagement establishes expected timelines at the outset. Where circumstances change, the client is informed promptly with updated estimates.
Confidential Handling
Client information is treated with appropriate discretion. Access is limited to those working on the matter, and records are maintained in accordance with professional obligations.
§ 5.0 — Frequently Asked Questions
Common Enquiries
How is the initial consultation handled?
An initial enquiry can be submitted through the contact form or by telephone. A member of the team will respond to arrange a brief preliminary discussion to determine whether the matter falls within the firm's areas of practice and to outline next steps.
What are your professional fees and how are they structured?
Fee structures vary by matter. Each engagement begins with a discussion of the scope and associated costs, documented in an engagement letter before substantive work commences. The fees listed on the services page are indicative starting points — the actual fee for your specific matter will be confirmed in writing at the outset.
Do you act for both individuals and corporate clients?
Yes. The firm advises both individual clients and corporate entities. In banking and finance matters, the firm acts for both borrowers and lenders. Intellectual property advisory and compliance engagements are typically corporate matters, though individual clients with relevant needs are also welcome to enquire.
What is the typical timeline for a compliance review engagement?
Timelines depend on the complexity and number of regulations under review. A focused single-regulation review may be completed within two to three weeks. Multi-regulation engagements typically require four to eight weeks. Exact timelines are discussed and documented at the outset of each engagement.
Are you able to advise on intellectual property matters outside Malaysia?
The firm's primary practice is in Malaysian intellectual property law. For matters requiring advice in foreign jurisdictions, the firm can assist in identifying appropriate local counsel in those jurisdictions through its professional network, while coordinating the overall strategy from the Malaysian side.
How is client confidentiality maintained?
The firm operates in compliance with the Legal Profession Act 1976 and the relevant professional conduct rules in Malaysia. Client information is accessible only to those working on the matter, and documents are stored securely with appropriate access controls. Confidentiality obligations persist beyond the conclusion of each engagement.
