Corporate & Commercial

For Businesses & Investors

Build, Grow & Protect Your Business

Led by Calvin Lau, Partner

Sound familiar?

"I'm closing a deal and I need it done right." · "My contracts aren't protecting me." · "My co-founder and I disagree on the direction of the company." · "I need to structure this investment properly."

We keep your business legally protected — so you can focus on growing it.

Running a business means making legal decisions every day — often without realising it. A poorly drafted contract, an unclear shareholders' agreement, or a badly structured deal can cost you far more than legal fees ever would.

Our Corporate & Commercial practice gives you a trusted legal partner who understands business — not just law. We handle the complexity so you can keep moving forward with confidence.

Speak to Eldarius

Sound familiar?

"Someone owes me money and won't pay." · "I'm being sued and don't know what to do." · "My business partner crossed a line." · "I need an injunction — fast."

We fight hard — in court, in arbitration and at the negotiating table.

Being in a dispute is stressful, expensive and time-consuming. What you need is a lawyer who knows how to resolve it — quickly and decisively — whether that means a negotiated settlement or a courtroom battle.

Eldarius Yong brings sharp analytical thinking and tenacious advocacy to every dispute he handles. Clients trust him to protect their interests and recover what's rightfully theirs.

Sound familiar?

"I'm buying my first property and have no idea where to start." · "My developer is delaying — what are my rights?" · "I need to refinance quickly." · "I'm a developer and need full project documentation."

We handle every document, every deadline, every detail — so your transaction closes smoothly.

Property is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. The last thing you want is a legal mistake that delays your completion, costs you money, or puts your purchase at risk.

We handle residential and commercial conveyancing with meticulous care — managing every document and deadline so you get the keys, the title, or the loan without stress.

Insolvency and corporate restructuring

Insolvency & Corporate Restructuring

For Distressed Businesses

Insolvency &
Corporate Restructuring

Led by Eldarius Yong, Partner

Speak to Eldarius

Sound familiar?

"My company can't pay its debts." · "A supplier is threatening to wind up my business." · "I'm owed money by an insolvent company." · "We need to restructure before it's too late."

We help businesses navigate financial distress — and find a way through.

When a business faces insolvency, time is critical. The wrong move — or inaction — can expose directors to personal liability and destroy any chance of recovery. We advise both creditors and debtors on the full spectrum of insolvency and restructuring options under Malaysian law.

Whether you're a company in distress, a creditor seeking recovery, or a director managing liability exposure, we give you clear, direct advice on what your options are — and what to do next.

Regulatory & Compliance

For Regulated Businesses

Regulatory &
Compliance Advisory

Led by Calvin Lau, Partner

Speak to Calvin

Sound familiar?

"My business operates in a regulated sector and I'm not sure what licences I need." · "We're facing a regulatory inquiry." · "I need a compliance framework before we scale."

Stay on the right side of the regulator — before problems arise.

Operating in Malaysia's regulated sectors — financial services, capital markets, healthcare, telecommunications — means navigating a web of requirements across the SC, BNM, MCMC and other authorities. Getting it wrong means licence suspension, financial penalties or criminal liability.

We help businesses understand their regulatory obligations, build compliant frameworks, respond to regulatory inquiries and manage enforcement risks — so you can operate with confidence.

Foreign Direct Investments

For Foreign Investors & Multinationals

Foreign Direct
Investments

Led by Calvin Lau, Partner

Speak to Calvin

Sound familiar?

"I want to set up a business in Malaysia — what structure do I use?" · "What are the foreign ownership restrictions in my industry?" · "I need to repatriate funds back to my home country."

Navigate Malaysia's investment landscape — from entry to exit.

Malaysia actively welcomes foreign direct investment, but the legal and regulatory landscape is complex. Foreign ownership restrictions, sector-specific licensing, exchange control rules under BNM and approvals from MITI or MDEC all need to be navigated before you commit capital.

We act for foreign investors establishing operations in Malaysia — advising on entry structure, regulatory approvals, joint venture arrangements with local partners, repatriation of funds and ongoing compliance obligations.

Legal Due Diligence

For Buyers, Investors & Boards

Legal Due
Diligence

Led by both Partners

Start Your DD

Sound familiar?

"I'm acquiring a company and need to know what I'm buying." · "My investor is asking for a legal DD report." · "I want to understand the legal risks before I sign the SPA."

Know exactly what you're buying — before you commit.

Legal due diligence is the foundation of every successful acquisition. A thorough DD review uncovers title issues, pending litigation, regulatory exposure, undisclosed liabilities and contractual landmines before they become your problem. Doing it properly protects your investment and strengthens your negotiating position.

We conduct targeted legal due diligence on target companies, assets and transactions — delivering clear, actionable reports that identify material risks, flag deal-breakers and inform your decision-making.

General Retainer

For Businesses Needing Ongoing Counsel

Retainer

Led by both Partners

Enquire About Retainer

Sound familiar?

"I need a lawyer on-call without paying full rates every time." · "My business deals with legal questions every week." · "I want a trusted legal partner who understands my business inside out."

Your business, your lawyer — always available, always in the loop.

Growing businesses face legal questions constantly — contracts that need a quick review, HR situations that need immediate input, regulatory queries that can't wait. Engaging a lawyer ad hoc each time is expensive, inefficient and means your lawyer never truly knows your business.

Our general retainer arrangements give your business access to both Partners on an ongoing basis — at agreed rates, with a deep understanding of your operations, risk profile and commercial priorities. You call us. We respond.

Family & Estate

For Individuals & Families

Family & Estate —
Wills, Trusts & Probate

Led by Eldarius Yong, Partner

Speak to Eldarius

Sound familiar?

"I haven't made a will yet and I know I should." · "I want to protect my assets for my children." · "A family member has passed and there are disputes over the estate." · "I need to set up a trust."

Protect what matters most — your family, your assets, your legacy.

Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. It's for anyone who wants to make sure their assets go to the right people — without confusion, conflict or unnecessary delay. A properly drafted Will or Trust gives your family clarity and protection when they need it most.

We help individuals and families put the right structures in place — and when disputes arise, we help resolve them with sensitivity and discretion.

Employment
Matters

Led by Calvin Lau, Partner

Speak to Calvin

Sound familiar?

"An employee is claiming wrongful dismissal." · "My employer terminated me unfairly." · "My employment contract doesn't protect me." · "I need to restructure my workforce properly."

Whether you're the employer or the employee — we make sure you're protected.

Employment disputes are expensive, disruptive and often avoidable. With the right contracts and HR advisory in place, most problems never escalate. When they do, we represent employers and employees alike in negotiations, Industrial Court proceedings and civil claims.

We also help businesses structure compliant employment frameworks — including service agreements, non-compete clauses and retrenchment processes — that reduce risk from day one.

Franchise & Licensing

For Franchisors, Franchisees & Licensors

Franchise &
Licensing

Led by Calvin Lau, Partner

Speak to Calvin

Sound familiar?

"I want to franchise my business but don't know where to start." · "I'm buying into a franchise and need to understand what I'm signing." · "My licensor is breaching our agreement."

Expand your business — protected, compliant and properly structured.

Franchising is one of the fastest ways to scale a business in Malaysia, but it comes with a specific legal regime under the Franchise Act 1998 and strict disclosure requirements. Whether you're a franchisor building a network or a franchisee evaluating an opportunity, you need clear legal guidance before you commit.

We help franchisors structure their systems, draft disclosure documents and registration agreements, and navigate Franchise Act requirements. We also advise franchisees on what they're signing — and what they should push back on.

Trademark & IP

For Businesses & Brand Owners

Trademark &
IP Protection

Led by Calvin Lau, Partner

Speak to Calvin

Sound familiar?

"Someone is using my brand name without permission." · "I need to register my trademark before I launch." · "A competitor is copying my product design."

Protect your brand — your most valuable commercial asset.

Your brand, your logo, your product design — these are often worth more than any physical asset you own. Without proper protection, they can be copied, diluted or misappropriated. And once infringement takes hold, it can be costly and time-consuming to stop.

We advise businesses on trademark registration under Malaysian law (MyIPO), IP portfolio management, licensing strategies and enforcement action — including infringement proceedings and passing-off claims in the High Court.
