PETALING JAYA: Starting Saturday, most legal fees for conveyancing transactions in Peninsular Malaysia will be increased due to a revision in the law to allow lawyers to cope with hikes in operating costs.

The changes will affect transactions involving non-contentious matters such as the sale and purchase of movable and immovable properties, financing and tenancies, according to the latest Solicitors’ Remuneration Order (SRO 2023) gazetted yesterday.
