Legal Due Diligence for Institutional Investors

Uncover every hidden risk before your RM 50 million investment becomes a RM 50 million mistake.

Real lawyers for real businesses

Your investment committee is waiting. The target company's financials look perfect, management seems confident, and the market opportunity is massive. But what if there's a regulatory breach buried in their compliance files? What if their key contracts have termination clauses that activate on ownership change? What if their intellectual property isn't actually theirs? You're about to recommend a deal that could destroy your fund's reputation and your career. Every day you delay increases the risk that another bidder swoops in, but every day you rush increases the risk of missing the legal landmine that kills everything. The pressure is suffocating, and you know that one overlooked detail could turn your biggest win into your biggest nightmare.

Legal Due Diligence for Institutional Investor

We conduct comprehensive legal due diligence on target companies, identifying material risks, regulatory compliance gaps, and structural issues that could impact your investment decision and valuation.

Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support

You build the business. We help you protect it.

You dream of presenting bulletproof investment recommendations that consistently deliver superior returns whilst protecting your fund from catastrophic legal risks. You envision being the investment professional who never misses critical details, who spots opportunities others overlook, and who builds a reputation for flawless due diligence execution. But right now, you're drowning in legal documents you don't have time to properly analyse, relying on target company representations you can't verify, and making multi-million decisions with incomplete information. Legal That Works becomes your strategic advantage, delivering institutional-grade legal due diligence that transforms uncertainty into confidence and risk into opportunity.

We've Helped

You Need To Act Now

Important: Limited Slots

Every day you delay due diligence increases the risk of another bidder securing the deal or discovering the legal issues that kill your investment after you've committed resources. Market opportunities don't wait for perfect timing, and neither do your competitors. Legal That Works maintains a selective client roster focused on institutional investors because comprehensive due diligence demands senior partner attention and cannot be delegated to junior associates. Your investment committee needs answers now, not excuses later. The deal timeline won't adjust for inadequate legal preparation.

Nothing to Lose. Everything to Protect.

Before anything starts, we speak with you to understand your business and make sure the service is the right fit. If it is not, we will say so upfront. No pressure. No wasted time. We only take on matters we are confident we can deliver with quality. That is why business owners trust us to get it right.
