What's at stake

What is really at stake

  1. 01
    LEAP Market admission is attractive to growing companies, and the process is often approached as an accounting and advisory exercise.
  2. 02
    The legal readiness work is substantial and slow to fix late — corporate records, shareholding history, related party arrangements, material contracts, governance structures and disclosure obligations all come under examination.

In plain words

Bursa LEAP Market Listing Advisory

Legal preparation for LEAP Market admission — corporate and shareholding history, records and registers, constitution and governance, related party and conflicts, material contract review, and support on the documentation admission requires.

What good looks like

Imagine entering the admission process with the corporate history clean, records complete, governance in place and material contracts reviewed, so the process runs on the timetable rather than around problems.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Send a short request and Akmal will tell you plainly whether and how we can help.

Is LEAP Market suitable for us?

That is a commercial and financial question as much as a legal one, and your adviser will lead on it. We prepare the legal position.

How long does preparation take?

It depends heavily on the state of the records. We will scope after an initial review.

What causes the most delay?

Incomplete corporate records and unresolved shareholding history, almost always.

What is Legal That Works?

Legal That Works is a business and organisation oriented legal service designed by Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co (the firm that has brought the widely known legal consumer services brand ASCOLAW). We specifically help business owners and organisation leadership to navigate Malaysia’s legal terrain to achieve their commercial goals.

What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?

No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts. Just reach out and we will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options, without jargon or upselling.

Who will be helping me?

Your matter is led by Akmal Saufi, Partner. Depending on the work, other advocates and solicitors in our team will handle parts of it day to day, with Akmal overseeing the matter. You will always deal with real lawyers, not chatbots or generic customer support.

Before you sign

The cost of waiting

Corporate history is the slowest thing to fix. Gaps going back years cannot be resolved on an admission timetable.
