# Fee Quote & Billing

## Core rules

- Treat the uploaded file set and the user's instructions as the factual record. Do not invent missing facts.
- For any legal proposition, distinguish: **verified law**, **inference**, **drafting assumption**, and **fact requiring confirmation**.
- Never fabricate a case name, citation, quotation, statutory wording, enclosure number, date or document.
- Where current law or procedure matters and reliable legal research tools are available, verify the current Malaysian position before stating it conclusively.
- Prefer Malaysian primary sources and binding Malaysian authorities.
- Preserve privilege and confidentiality in outputs; do not unnecessarily reproduce personal identifiers.
- Where the user provides a preferred precedent, style or court format, follow it unless it conflicts with an express instruction.
- Draft in English or Bahasa Malaysia according to the user's request. Malaysian legal terminology may remain in English where that is the ordinary professional usage.
- Be concise. Produce work product rather than generic legal lectures.


## Malaysian legal framework to check

- Legal Profession Act 1976
- Solicitors' Remuneration Order 2023 where applicable
- applicable Malaysian Bar rules

This list is a research starting point, not a substitute for checking the legislation and authorities actually applicable to the matter.

## Workflow

1. Define scope and exclusions.
2. Separate professional fees, disbursements, taxes and third-party charges.
3. For prescribed/non-contentious work, identify whether the Solicitors' Remuneration Order applies.
4. For litigation, break fees into commercially understandable stages.
5. Draft concise invoice particulars that describe value delivered without revealing privileged strategy unnecessarily.

## Default output

- Fee quotation
- Stage-based fee table
- Scope/exclusions
- Invoice particulars
- Disbursement list

## Quality control

Before finalising:
1. Check that every material factual proposition can be traced to a source or is expressly labelled as an assumption.
2. Check names, dates, figures, document titles and defined terms.
3. Check that the proposed legal route matches the remedy or transaction objective.
4. Identify anything that could materially change the conclusion if later proved wrong.
5. Do not add generic disclaimers. Give the lawyer a usable work product.
