Your Business Has Legal Gaps. Find Them Before They Find You.
LegalGuard is a business legal risk platform for Malaysian SMEs. It gives you tools and general information to spot legal risk early. It does not give legal advice. Where a situation clearly needs legal advice, speak to a qualified Malaysian lawyer.
Most SME owners only look at legal risk after one of these starts burning cash.
A staff issue you thought was simple.
In my experience, one unfair dismissal claim handled badly can cost an SME owner RM20,000 to RM80,000 and months of distraction. Proper employment documentation costs a fraction of that.
A contract you signed too quickly.
The clause that protects the other side is usually on page 8. By the time you find it, you have already committed. A RM 138 risk review can change that entirely.
A shareholder dispute that got personal.
No SHA. One partner wants out. Suddenly there is no agreed mechanism, no valuation basis, and a relationship that used to work is now a legal problem.
Depending on where you are now.

CF Lee (Lee Chian Fuong)
I started my career as in-house counsel at an MNC, then spent six years at a top-tier firm advising large corporates on complex transactions. I moved to boutique practice because I kept seeing the same thing: SME owners getting into expensive, preventable legal problems that a proper document or an early conversation would have stopped. LegalGuard is my way of making practical legal protection accessible before a crisis forces the issue.

Common Questions from Malaysian SME Owners
Will I get charged more than what I see on the page?
The Contract Risk Review costs RM 138 for one memo, and you see the amount at Checkout before you pay. The memo is based only on the text you submit, so there are no company searches, stamp duty or government fees to pay on top.
Will my contract be kept confidential?
Your contract text is used only to prepare your memo, and it is deleted from our order record once your memo is sent. The memo is prepared by an AI provider outside Malaysia. Our Privacy Notice at legalguard.my/privacy explains the details.
My business is running well right now. Do I actually need this?
Many business owners say the same thing before a contractual dispute, an employment claim or a shareholder disagreement surfaces. In my experience, resolving a dispute at that stage can cost RM50,000 to RM200,000. LegalGuard's free legal risk assessment at check.legalguard.my takes two minutes and generates a personalised risk report at no cost. If your position is sound, the report will reflect that clearly.
