Public Policy, Government Relations & Engagements
Services
Statutory regulations and governmental policies define the legal landscape in which companies and business owners conduct their businesses and help to protect their rights. It is beneficial for companies and business owners to be aware of the applicable legislations to assess the commercial risks that they may face, and as stakeholders, also be involved in the shaping and implementation of laws and policies which affect them.
Our team is able to assist you in navigating the legislative regimes and public policies as we regularly engage and work closely with governmental authorities including the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDT), the Royal Malaysian Customs Department and the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) on behalf of various clients.
We have been engaged as consultant and have proposed amendments and recommendations in relation to the drafting and amendment of various laws and policies including the repealed Trade Marks Act 1976, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, the Consumer Protection (Electronic Trade Transactions) Regulations 2012, the Trademarks Act 2019, the MDT’s Guidelines relating to trademark enforcement as well as other legislations.
As part of our efforts to bridge the gap between stakeholders to address shared concerns,
we regularly organise roundtable discussions between brand owners, e-commerce platforms and the MDT concerning the eradication of the sale of counterfeit goods and IPR enforcement on online marketplaces.
