Document background
The Client Disengagement Letter is a crucial document used when a professional service provider needs to formally terminate their relationship with a client in Malaysia. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the decision to end the professional relationship, outlining the transition process, addressing outstanding matters, and ensuring compliance with Malaysian legal requirements, including the Contracts Act 1950 and relevant professional regulations. This document is particularly important in situations where there needs to be a clear record of the termination of services, whether due to completion of work, conflicts of interest, non-payment, or other professional reasons. The letter should be drafted with careful consideration of Malaysian professional standards, data protection requirements, and contract law to ensure a smooth and legally compliant transition while maintaining professional relationships.
