Practice Areas
Three Areas Where We Can Help
Claimond's services cover family law, immigration, and corporate governance advisory. Each area has its own rhythm and requirements — we explain what applies to your situation from the outset.
Back to HomeHow We Work
Our Methodology
Legal matters rarely fit into a standard template, but they do follow a recognisable shape. Our approach is to listen first, assess carefully, and then advise based on what we have actually heard — not on what a standard instruction sheet suggests.
Across all three of our service areas, we begin with a conversation rather than a questionnaire. This helps us understand what you need, identify any complications early, and be honest about what we can and cannot do for you.
Once we have agreed on scope and fees, the engagement runs on a structured timeline. Clients receive updates at each meaningful stage. We do not wait for clients to chase us — if something happens with your matter, you will hear from us first.
Listen First
Every matter starts with a proper conversation, not a form.
Assess Carefully
We identify complications early and advise on realistic outcomes.
Agree in Writing
Scope, fees, and timeline are documented before work begins.
Keep You Informed
Updates come from us, not the other way around.
Family Law Consultation
RM 800 per consultation
Family matters are among the most sensitive a legal practitioner handles. Whether you are considering divorce, dealing with custody arrangements, seeking to formalise an adoption, or managing a maintenance claim, the decisions made at each stage can have lasting consequences for everyone involved.
Claimond's family law consultations are conducted with discretion and patience. We cover both civil and Shariah family law jurisdictions — which is particularly relevant in Malaysia where the applicable court depends on the religious status of the parties involved.
What is Covered
- Divorce and judicial separation proceedings (civil and Shariah)
- Child custody, access rights, and guardianship arrangements
- Maintenance and financial provision claims
- Adoption proceedings under Malaysian law
- Matrimonial asset division and financial settlements
Process
Initial consultation to understand your situation — approximately 60 to 90 minutes
Review of relevant documents and assessment of applicable jurisdiction
Written summary of options and recommended approach
Ongoing representation available if required
Immigration & Work Permit Services
From RM 2,000 per application
Malaysia's immigration system is detailed and procedural. For employers seeking to hire foreign nationals, the application and renewal process can be time-consuming without familiarity with how the system actually operates. For individuals relocating here, understanding which pass category is appropriate — and preparing documentation correctly the first time — makes a material difference to how smoothly the process goes.
Claimond assists companies of all sizes and individual applicants with the preparation, submission, and follow-up of immigration applications. We liaise directly with the Immigration Department of Malaysia and flag any queries or additional requirements before they become delays.
Services Included
- Employment pass and work permit applications (Expatriate Services Division)
- Dependent pass and long-term social visit pass for family members
- Professional visit pass and volunteer pass applications
- Documentation review and compliance checking before submission
- Renewal processing and status follow-up with authorities
- MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home) programme advisory
Who This is For
Companies
SMEs and multinationals hiring foreign professionals or relocating staff to Malaysia
Individuals
Foreign nationals taking up employment in Malaysia or accompanying working family members
Corporate Governance Advisory
From RM 3,200 per engagement (4–8 weeks)
Sound governance is not a box-ticking exercise — it is the internal scaffolding that helps a company manage risk, make decisions consistently, and demonstrate accountability to its shareholders and regulators. Companies that invest in governance frameworks tend to handle audits, leadership transitions, and disputes more capably than those that address these issues reactively.
Claimond's advisory engagements are designed for companies that want practical outputs — not theoretical reports. We review existing structures, identify gaps, and produce documentation that the company can implement and maintain without ongoing legal oversight.
Engagement Scope
- Board composition review and director responsibilities assessment
- Compliance programme design and policy drafting
- Risk management framework review and documentation
- Stakeholder communication protocols and disclosure policies
- Audit preparation and listing requirement alignment (Bursa, ACE Market)
Typical Engagement Timeline

Final documentation, review session, and handover
