Who We Are

The practice behind the name

Parcel & Writ was founded in 2011 by lawyers who had observed a gap in the market — businesses in financial difficulty or regulatory uncertainty were often met with advice that was either vague or disconnected from commercial reality. The founders believed that legal counsel, to be genuinely useful, had to be structured, specific, and delivered without unnecessary formality.

The name reflects this philosophy. A parcel is something handed over with care and intent. A writ is a document of legal weight. Together they suggest what the firm aims to deliver: substantive legal work communicated in a manner that clients can use.

Over fifteen years, the practice has grown to serve manufacturing companies, property developers, SMEs, and individuals across Peninsular Malaysia and the East Malaysia states. The core practice areas remain insolvency and restructuring advisory, environmental and sustainability compliance, and general legal retainer arrangements — each chosen because they require the kind of careful, context-specific thinking that the firm does best.

The office is located at 62 Jalan Tun HS Lee, within walking distance of Kuala Lumpur's commercial courts and the city's financial district — a deliberate choice that places the firm close to the institutions its clients engage with most frequently.

How We Work

Quality standards

Malaysian Bar Compliance

All practising members hold valid Annual Practising Certificates issued by the Malaysian Bar. Professional conduct is maintained in accordance with the Legal Profession Act 1976 and the Bar Council's Rules on Professional Conduct.

Client Confidentiality

Solicitor-client privilege is observed across all engagements. Client information is held in secure file management systems with access restricted to the assigned matter team. No client information is shared outside the firm without explicit consent.

Written Advisory Standard

Substantive legal positions are delivered in writing. Clients receive structured advisory memoranda outlining the legal position, available options, and recommended course of action — not verbal summaries alone.

Matter Review Process

Each significant advisory is reviewed by at least two qualified practitioners before delivery to the client. This internal check reduces the risk of oversight on complex or multi-dimensional matters.

Fee Transparency

Fees are discussed and agreed at the outset of each engagement. Where a matter scope extends beyond the initial brief, the additional scope and associated cost are communicated and agreed before the work proceeds.

Continuing Legal Development

All practitioners complete the Malaysian Bar's continuing professional development requirements. The team participates in Bar Council seminars on insolvency law updates and environmental regulatory changes relevant to their practice areas.

Our Expertise

Legal advisory in the Malaysian context

The Malaysian legal system draws on a combination of common law principles, statutory frameworks specific to Malaysia, and an evolving body of regulatory requirements across industries. Navigating this landscape requires more than familiarity with the legislation — it requires an understanding of how the courts, regulatory bodies, and market participants behave in practice.

Parcel & Writ's work in insolvency and restructuring draws on experience with the Companies Act 2016, the Insolvency Act 1967, and the procedural requirements of the High Court of Malaya. The firm has advised on matters involving Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia, where jurisdictional nuances can affect the available options and appropriate strategies.

The environmental compliance practice is grounded in the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and the extensive secondary legislation made under it — including regulations governing prescribed premises, scheduled wastes, and environmental impact assessments. As sustainability reporting obligations expand under Bursa Malaysia listing requirements and other frameworks, the advisory work has extended into ESG-adjacent territory.

The general retainer model is designed for businesses that need access to reliable legal input on an ongoing basis without the uncertainty of ad hoc fee arrangements. For SMEs and growing companies, the retainer provides a cost-manageable way to maintain legal awareness without committing to the full overhead of in-house counsel.
