Ombudsman for Financial Services
Three Focused Areas of Practice
Each service is structured to give you a clear understanding of your position, your options, and the steps ahead — without unnecessary complexity.

- Delivered within 1–2 weeks
Claims Dispute Representation
Counsel and representation when your claim has been denied, under-settled, or disputed. We handle OFS complaints, negotiations with insurers, and court proceedings where necessary.

Grounded in Practice, Focused on Clarity
Independent Perspective
We act only for policyholders and corporate clients — never for insurers. Our advice reflects your interests alone.
Detail-Focused Analysis
Insurance disputes often turn on specific wording. We read every clause carefully and explain what it means for your situation.
Plain-Language Communication
Legal terms can obscure meaning. We translate complex policy language into clear, understandable advice you can act on.
Takaful & Conventional Coverage
Our team handles both conventional and takaful insurance matters, including Shariah-compliant structuring for corporate clients.
Ombudsman & Court Experience
Whether your matter suits OFS resolution or requires court proceedings, we have experience navigating both paths in Malaysia.
Realistic Timelines
We set clear expectations from the start — outlining likely timelines, costs, and what each stage of your matter involves.
Frequently Asked Questions
We handle disputes across most lines — motor, property, life, medical, marine, liability, and takaful. If your insurer has denied or under-settled a claim, or if you are uncertain about your coverage, we can assess your situation and advise accordingly.
The Ombudsman for Financial Services (OFS) process typically runs two to six months depending on complexity and the insurer's responsiveness. Litigation takes considerably longer — often twelve months or more. We will give you a realistic picture of timelines during your initial consultation.
We work with both. Individual policyholders can engage us for policy reviews and claims disputes. Businesses — from SMEs to large project sponsors — typically approach us for programme structuring or complex multi-party claims. Each client receives the same level of care regardless of matter size.
A policy review covers the full policy document — including conditions precedent, exclusion clauses, and definitions — and produces a written coverage opinion letter alongside a plain-language summary of key clauses. Turnaround is one to two weeks from receipt of all documents.
Yes. All communications between clients and Harmoni Counsel are subject to legal professional privilege and strict confidentiality obligations. Policy documents and claim materials you share with us are handled and stored securely.
Policy reviews are fixed-fee at RM 600. Claims dispute representation starts at RM 2,200, with the full scope agreed in writing before work begins. Corporate programme structuring is scoped individually from RM 4,600. We are transparent about costs from the outset so there are no unexpected charges.
