Considered Counsel
for Corporate Matters

A straightforward Sdn Bhd incorporation, from initial consultation to SSM registration, generally takes six to ten working weeks. The timeline reflects the drafting of the company constitution, any shareholder arrangements required, and coordination with company secretaries. Matters involving cross-border founders may take modestly longer due to document authentication requirements.

Fees are discussed openly before engagement begins. For most matters, we offer a fixed-fee arrangement so clients have full visibility. For larger transactions such as M&A mandates, fees are structured across pre-agreed stages. We do not apply unexpected charges; any additional scope is flagged and agreed before work proceeds.

Yes. A meaningful share of our practice involves foreign founders and investors seeking to establish or transact within Malaysia. We are familiar with the additional steps required — including the authentication of foreign documents and restrictions on equity participation in certain sectors — and can guide cross-border clients through these considerations patiently.

Our contract advisory service begins with a situational interview to understand the commercial context, followed by drafting to your instructions. You receive two rounds of revisions and a consolidated negotiation pack prepared for counterparty exchange. Most engagements are delivered across three to five weeks, depending on the complexity of the commercial relationship and the number of parties involved.

We welcome preliminary conversations. An initial discussion allows both parties to understand the matter, assess the appropriate scope of work, and agree on terms without pressure. You may contact us by phone or through the enquiry form on this page to arrange a time that suits you.

For a formation matter, it is helpful to have the proposed business activity, a sense of the intended ownership structure, and the identities of all proposed shareholders. For contract work, any existing drafts or term sheets are useful. For M&A matters, a brief description of the business, the transaction structure in mind, and any preliminary terms already discussed will help us prepare a more focused first conversation.
