Governance is invisible until someone examines it. Then the questions come quickly. Were the directors properly appointed. Was that decision authorised. Where is the resolution. Who approved the related party transaction.
Most companies find the answers are worse than assumed. Registers out of date. Board decisions taken over messages and never minuted. Authority limits nobody has defined. Related party transactions approved by the person who benefited.
None of it is deliberate. It accumulates because nobody has ever been asked to produce the record.
Corporate Governance Health Check
A review of your governance framework — constitution and its fitness, board composition and appointments, decision-making and delegation, statutory registers and filings, related party and conflict handling, and the record-keeping that evidences it — with a prioritised remediation plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?
Legal That Works is a digital-first legal service designed by ASCO LAW (Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co) specifically for business owners and founders. We help you structure, grow, and protect your business through practical legal solutions—delivered fast, in plain English & Bahasa Malaysia, and with no office visit required.
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 long does a health check take?
It depends on the size of the group and the state of the records. We will scope it after an initial look.
Is this only for large companies?
No. Smaller companies often have the most drift, because nobody has ever had to produce the record.
Will you fix what you find or just report it?
Both. The report identifies the issues and we execute the remediation.
Does this cover subsidiaries?
It can, and for groups it usually should. Subsidiary records are typically weaker than the holding company's.
What are the personal risks for directors?
They vary by issue, and part of the value of the review is making them explicit rather than assumed.
Are your services affordable?
Our transparent fee structure means no billing surprises. Membership unlocks the best rates, but even one-off services are designed to be clear and competitive. You’ll always know what you pay.
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.
