Dispute resolution

D&P Law Group (David & Paulian) provides a comprehensive and diverse array of litigation services that ranges from commercial litigation, construction, insolvency and employment to intellectual property. Managing partner Shaun Paulian and Brenda Chan are key figures.

In the realm of construction, the firm undertook the representation of a port equipment and maintenance specialist, initiating legal action against a main contractor to recover an amount exceeding RM7 million ($1.5 million) through an adjudication proceeding. This case holds significance as it aims to bring clarity regarding the classification of separate quotations for additional works. Specifically, it will address whether subsequent quotations, which encompass a series of supplemental works or variations to the initial quotation, should be considered a single construction contract or treated as distinct and separate contracts. The outcome of this matter will provide valuable guidance on this important aspect of construction law.

All details of clients the firm has advised remain confidential.
