Client testimonials
Tan Lee Ming
Director, FMCG · Petaling Jaya
"We came to sumerisxxad after receiving a substantial claim from a former distributor. The assessment they provided was clear and frank — they told us where our position was strong and where we had some exposure. That honesty was more useful than reassurance would have been. The matter resolved before trial on terms we were comfortable with."

Nurul Rashidah
CFO, Property Services · KL Sentral
"We have used sumerisxxad for our receivables portfolio over the past year. The quarterly reports are genuinely useful at board level — they give us a clear picture of where we stand financially across all outstanding disputes. The fee structure is straightforward and I have never had to question what a bill covered."

Dinesh Krishnan
Managing Partner, IT Consulting · Bangsar South
"We had a dispute with a former partner about IP rights and profit-sharing. sumerisxxad guided us through the pre-litigation process carefully. They drafted correspondence that was firm without being aggressive, and ultimately the dispute settled without proceedings. Good value for what we paid, and no surprises."

Siti Wahida
COO, Logistics Group · Shah Alam
"Managing freight claims and customer disputes is part of our business. What I needed was someone who could handle them systematically, not case by case in an ad hoc way. The portfolio programme did exactly that. The written updates come regularly and are concise enough to be useful."

Raymond Loh
Founder, Manufacturing SME · Subang Jaya
"I had a contract dispute with a supplier that had dragged on for over a year before I engaged sumerisxxad. They filed proceedings at the Sessions Court, managed the case management efficiently, and we obtained judgment within eight months. Throughout the process I always knew what was happening and what came next."

Mohd Hafizuddin
Legal Manager, Retail Group · KLCC
"As an in-house lawyer, I sometimes need external counsel who can step in for High Court matters without a lengthy briefing process. sumerisxxad picks up files quickly and handles the procedural aspects competently. The single-point-of-contact model works well for us. I know who to call and they know our position."

Matter summaries
The Situation
A consumer goods company received a claim from a terminated distributor alleging wrongful termination and loss of profits. The claim was for RM 380,000. The client had served valid termination notice but the distributor disputed the adequacy of cause.
The Engagement
We reviewed the distribution agreement and termination correspondence, assessed the strength of the client's position, and filed a defence at the High Court. An interlocutory application to strike out parts of the claim was prepared and heard. Settlement negotiations ran alongside the proceedings.
The Outcome
The matter settled after the interlocutory hearing for RM 45,000 — substantially below the claimed amount. Total duration from engagement to settlement: 11 months. The client avoided trial and the associated costs and management time.
The Situation
A property services company had fourteen outstanding receivables totalling approximately RM 620,000, spread across different debtors and stages of recovery. Some had been passed to debt collectors with no result. Others had received demand letters but no proceedings had been filed.
The Engagement
We conducted a portfolio review and ranked the matters by recovery prospect and cost-effectiveness. Seven were recommended for court proceedings, four for renewed negotiation, and three were assessed as not worth pursuing at that time. Proceedings were filed in the Sessions Court for the seven priority matters.
The Outcome
Over twelve months, RM 390,000 was recovered across the seven litigated matters — four by judgment, three by settlement. The three deferred matters were reviewed at the twelve-month point. Quarterly reporting was maintained throughout for board visibility.
The Situation
A minority shareholder in a private company disputed decisions made by the majority shareholder regarding dividend distribution and related-party transactions. The client believed the majority had acted oppressively under Section 346 of the Companies Act 2016.
The Engagement
The pre-litigation assessment engagement was used first — we reviewed the shareholders' agreement, the company's accounts, and minutes of meetings. We provided a written opinion on the viability of an oppression claim and what evidence would be needed to support it.
The Outcome
The written assessment enabled the client to enter negotiations with the majority shareholder on an informed basis. The parties reached agreement on a share buyout within three months of the assessment, without issuing proceedings. The client considered the engagement fee of RM 720 well justified by the outcome.
