Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of businesses does Gemilang Law typically assist?
We work with Malaysian manufacturers exporting goods, import distributors, commodity traders, and businesses establishing cross-border supply chains. Our clients range from SMEs entering their first overseas market to established companies managing complex multi-jurisdictional trading relationships.
How does the documentation compliance service work in practice?
We begin with a review of your existing trade documentation and shipment details. From there, we identify classification issues, tariff opportunities under applicable FTAs, and any gaps in customs declaration preparation. We then work alongside your forwarding agents to ensure documents are properly coordinated before shipment.
What is the typical timeframe for contract drafting services?
Distribution agreements and supply contracts are generally delivered within seven to fourteen business days for a first draft, depending on complexity. Urgent requirements can often be accommodated — please discuss timelines during your initial consultation.
Does the firm handle arbitration proceedings outside Malaysia?
Our advisory covers SIAC and ICC arbitration proceedings, including proceedings seated outside Malaysia. For enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Malaysia, we handle the full application process under the New York Convention and the Arbitration Act 2005.
How are fees structured for trade legal services?
Our three core services are offered at transparent fixed fees — RM 580 for documentation compliance, RM 1,300 for contract advisory, and RM 2,280 for dispute resolution and sanctions advisory. Complex matters or ongoing retainer arrangements are quoted separately following an initial assessment.
What is sanctions advisory and does my business need it?
Sanctions advisory helps businesses screen trading partners, customers, and transactions against OFAC, EU, and Malaysian restricted-party lists. If your company trades with parties in regions subject to international sanctions regimes, or if you have inadvertently transacted with a listed entity, this service provides structured guidance on compliance and remediation steps.
