Legal That Works, by Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co.

Think out loud with a business lawyer before you commit.

Bring your idea, the deal on the table, or just what’s on your mind. In 25 minutes online, a corporate commercial lawyer asks the questions you haven’t been asked yet.

First session on us. 25 minutes, online. No obligation to appoint us.

You’ll speak to one of our lawyers. Advising Malaysian businesses since 2014.

Your business lawyerA sample of how we think
Try it
A friend wants to put in RM200k for 30% of my company.
Three questions I’d ask first:
1. What does each of you put in besides money, and what if one stops contributing?
2. Who decides when you two disagree?
3. If they want out in year two, who buys their shares, and at what price?
Tip: Worth checking: your company constitution, and anything already promised on WhatsApp.

A sample of the questions we start with. Nothing you type is saved or sent.

Businesses we’ve worked with

Who checks your plan?

You have someone for your numbers. Who checks your plan?

Everyone around you helps. Nobody is there to find the gap. Flip each card to find the blind spot.

Blind spots found0/6

And sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Running a business is lonely. Some things can’t be said to staff, partners or family. Say them to a lawyer who’s on your side.
