What Our Clients Say

Challenge

A manufacturing company in Selangor needed to reduce headcount due to operational changes. They were unsure how to manage the process lawfully under the Employment Act and were concerned about potential industrial court claims.

Solution

Thornbridge reviewed the situation, advised on the correct procedure for managing redundancies, drafted all required documentation, and guided the HR team through each stage of the process including statutory payments.

Outcome

The restructuring proceeded without any industrial court referral. The company's HR team reported feeling significantly more confident in handling employment matters going forward.

Challenge

A food and beverage brand in Kuala Lumpur discovered that a new competitor had begun operating under a name very similar to their own. The brand had not yet registered its trademark, which complicated the situation.

Solution

Thornbridge filed an expedited trademark application, conducted a comprehensive search of the existing registrations, and advised on the client's options with regard to the competing brand including relevant correspondence.

Outcome

The trademark was successfully registered. The competing brand made changes to its name following formal correspondence. The client has since engaged ongoing monitoring services.

Challenge

A parent in Kuala Lumpur needed help establishing a custody arrangement following separation. The other party was initially uncooperative, and there were conflicting views on what arrangement was in the child's interest.

Solution

Thornbridge advised on the legal framework for custody matters in Malaysia, prepared the necessary court documents, and guided the client through proceedings — maintaining a focus on the child's welfare as the central consideration.

Outcome

A custody arrangement was formalised through the court that both parties accepted. The client reported that the process, while difficult, was less adversarial than they had expected and that they felt well-supported throughout.
