What Our Clients Say About Working With Us

"We came to Padu Legal when a variation claim dispute threatened to delay our project handover. The team reviewed our PAM contract thoroughly, identified the weaknesses in the developer's position, and prepared a clear written response on our behalf. The matter was resolved without proceeding to adjudication."

"As a QS, I was owed a significant consultancy fee after the project was abandoned. Padu Legal's team walked me through the CIPAA process in plain terms — no jargon — and helped me prepare a payment claim I could actually stand behind. The adjudication decision came through in our favour after about six weeks."

"I needed FIDIC contract terms reviewed before signing with an international M&E subcontractor. Padu Legal turned around a detailed advisory within the week, flagging several clauses on performance bonds and defects liability that I had not considered. That kind of careful attention was exactly what I needed before committing to the project."

"Three months of unpaid progress claims, and the main contractor was issuing back-charges without basis. Rafiq's team analysed the payment chain and helped us file a CIPAA claim with proper supporting documents. The other side settled before the adjudication reached a decision stage — I was relieved that it did not drag out further."

"Our infrastructure project ran into delay claims from multiple contractors simultaneously. Padu Legal took on the full dispute management brief — coordinating with our QS and delay analyst, preparing position papers, and attending negotiation sessions. They kept us informed at every stage, which made the uncertainty far more manageable."

"Before signing our new project with a Penang developer, we asked Padu Legal to review the subcontract terms. They found payment provisions that were overly broad in favour of the developer and flagged the performance bond wording as a concern. We renegotiated those terms before execution. Worth every ringgit."

"We were facing termination notices from a developer over alleged defective works. The defects were disputed — the works had passed inspection at the relevant stages. Padu Legal helped us prepare a comprehensive response with technical documentation. The termination notice was eventually withdrawn."

"I appreciated that Padu Legal took the time to understand our project before giving advice. They did not rush to litigation — they explored negotiation first, which saved us time and cost. When negotiation did not resolve the extension of time dispute, they had our materials ready and we proceeded to adjudication on solid footing."
