Sellers prepare for a sale by preparing financials. The legal position gets examined only when the buyer's advisers start asking.
Missing registers, unassigned intellectual property, contracts without consents, undocumented shareholder loans and expired licences all surface at the point of maximum leverage for the buyer, and every one becomes a price adjustment.
Vendor Due Diligence and Sale Readiness Review
A seller-side review of the company's legal position across corporate records, contracts, employment, intellectual property, property and regulatory matters, with a remediation plan and, where useful, a report you can share with bidders.

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 far ahead should this be done?
The more time before a process, the more can actually be fixed. Months rather than weeks.
Will a buyer accept our report?
Buyers usually still run their own diligence, but a vendor report speeds the process and controls the narrative.
What are the most common findings?
Registers out of date, IP not assigned, contracts lacking change of control consents, and undocumented shareholder loans.
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.
