A contract arrives and needs signing. It is not a major transaction, so instructing a lawyer feels disproportionate — but signing something forty pages long that you have not fully read feels worse.
So it gets skimmed for the price and the term, and everything else is accepted on trust. The liability position, the termination rights, the automatic renewal, the indemnity buried in clause 23.
Most of the time nothing goes wrong. The times it does, the cost is many multiples of what a review would have been.
Basic Contract Review
A review of a single agreement setting out in plain language what it obliges you to do, what it entitles you to, where the risks sit, and what is worth asking the other side to change before you sign.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
You build the business. We help you protect it.
Imagine signing knowing exactly what you have agreed to. The obligations understood, the risks identified, and the two or three points worth pushing back on already raised.

Review before signature costs a fraction of a dispute afterwards, and it is the only point at which you still have leverage to change anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 goal.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
How quickly can you turn a review around?
Usually within a few working days depending on length. Tell us your deadline and we will be honest about whether it is achievable.
What is the difference between this and your full contract review service?
This tells you what the agreement does and where the risks are. The full service adds a ranked risk report and a negotiation brief with a position on every material point.
Will you negotiate with the other side?
Not as part of a basic review. We can do that separately if you want it.
Can you review a contract we have already signed?
Yes. We will set out your position under it and advise on your options.
What documents should we send?
The full agreement including every schedule and annexure, plus any earlier version or side letter. Missing schedules are the most common gap.
Who will be helping me?
All our services are delivered by our licensed lawyers under the Malaysian Bar with proven experience across industries. You’ll work with a real legal team, not chatbots or generic customer support.
