Is a verbal contract enforceable in Malaysia for a freelance project when there is only an email invoice?

I had a verbal agreement with a client for a freelance design job, but we only discussed terms verbally and there was no signed contract. I later sent an email invoice and the client disputes payment. Can I rely on Malaysia contract law to enforce the agreement, and what evidence would I need?

Hi there, yes you can rely on contract if you have enough written evidence here and there to prove the case. However, there are several hurdles to this. We need to review the material first. Please WA us.

Greetings! This is Sonya from JC Legal. Thank you for sharing your situation. A verbal contract for a freelance design project can be enforceable in Malaysia if all essential elements of a contract are present and can be proven with evidence. To better assist you, we recommend that you consider booking a session at our Virtual Legal Clinic (VLC). This would allow our Malaysian lawyers to discuss your needs and provide relevant preliminary legal advice. We look forward to your response and to supporting you with legal matters.
