Three Focused Areas of Legal Practice
Paragonia concentrates on conveyancing, estate planning, and commercial litigation. Depth of knowledge in fewer areas serves clients better than thin coverage across many.
Back to HomeAssess
We begin with a thorough review of your matter — the documents, the circumstances, and what outcome would be most useful to you. No work proceeds without a clear picture of the situation.
Structure
A clear process is mapped out with timelines, responsibilities, and cost estimates. For complex matters, we stage the engagement so you can make informed decisions at each point.
Complete
We carry the matter through to its conclusion — managing filings, coordinating with other parties, and keeping you informed at every stage. We do not consider an engagement closed until you are satisfied with the outcome.
Real Estate Conveyancing
We handle the full range of legal requirements for property transactions in Malaysia — whether you are a first-time homebuyer, an experienced developer, or a seller looking to ensure the transaction proceeds without complications. Both residential and commercial properties are covered.
Our proximity to the Kuala Lumpur Land Office and our panel status with several Malaysian financial institutions means that common bottlenecks in the conveyancing process can often be resolved more efficiently than at firms located further from the administrative centres involved.
The Process
We review the property details, check encumbrances, and either prepare or review the sale and purchase agreement depending on which side of the transaction you are on.
A title search is conducted at the relevant land office. We verify ownership, check for caveats, and confirm that the property description matches the documents.
If the purchase involves bank financing, we coordinate with the financier's solicitors and prepare or review all loan documentation. Our panel status simplifies this stage.
We calculate and submit stamp duty on your behalf and file the necessary documents for title transfer at the land registry.

Will Drafting and Probate
Preparing a will is one of the more significant things a person can do for their family, and yet it is often delayed because the process feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable. Nurul Hasanah Yusof, our estate planning solicitor, approaches this work with patience and discretion.
When a bereavement has occurred and a family needs assistance with the probate process, we support the appointed executor through each stage — from filing the application to coordinating the distribution of assets. This work is handled carefully and with full awareness that it comes at a difficult time.
The Process
We discuss your wishes, your family situation, and your assets. This helps us structure the will in a way that is legally sound and reflects your intentions clearly.
We draft the will in accordance with the Wills Act 1959 and related legislation. You review the draft and we address any questions before finalising.
The will is signed and witnessed in our offices in accordance with the statutory requirements. We retain a copy for our records and provide the original to you.
Following a death, we assist the executor with the probate application, the preparation of all required court documents, and the subsequent administration of the estate.
Commercial Litigation Support
When a business dispute moves beyond negotiation and into court proceedings, clear-headed legal representation makes a significant difference to how the matter unfolds. Kavin Krishnaswamy leads our litigation practice with a methodical, evidence-focused approach.
We are direct about the realistic range of outcomes from the outset. Commercial litigation involves time, cost, and uncertainty — we do not minimise these factors. Our aim is to help clients pursue proceedings where the case is strong, and to navigate toward the most constructive resolution when the picture is less clear.
The Process
We review the facts, documents, and applicable law to form an honest view of the claim. We provide a written assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, and likely costs.
We prepare the pleadings, coordinate witness statements, manage document discovery, and file all required court documents in accordance with the applicable rules of court.
We attend case management hearings, respond to interlocutory applications, and explore settlement where this would be in the client's interest — without losing the thread of the main claim.
We represent clients at all stages of the hearing, conduct examination and cross-examination of witnesses, and submit written submissions as required. We provide post-judgment advice on enforcement or appeal.
- Contract and debt disputes
- Partnership and shareholder matters
- Sessions Court and High Court
- Regular billing statements provided
- Honest case assessment at intake
