Your Business Has Legal Gaps. Find Them Before They Find You.
LegalGuard is led by CF Lee, Partner at KP Lu & Tan, 12 years PQE in corporate law and M&A. Helping Chinese-speaking Malaysian SME owners avoid costly disputes before they happen.
Most SME owners only call a lawyer after one of these starts burning cash.
A staff issue you thought was simple.
One unfair dismissal claim handled badly can cost you RM 30,000 to RM 80,000 and six 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 97 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 RM 97 contract review fee is exclusive of SST and disbursements. Disbursements such as SSM company searches, stamp duties, or government filing fees are charged on a strict cost basis with zero markup. You will know every ringgit before anything is committed.
Can AI really review my contract properly? What if it misses something?
LegalGuard uses a purpose-built AI system specifically calibrated for Malaysian commercial law. It is not a generic chatbot. The system was internally validated and refined before launch to ensure the analysis is relevant, accurate, and grounded in Malaysian legal practice. If your contract raises issues that require deeper advisory, the report will flag it clearly. You can book a 30-minute Contract Risk Consultation at RM 300 directly here: calendly.com/ops-lawfirm/15min
If I upload my contract, will my competitors or any AI engine see it?
No. Your documents are processed through secure systems with commercial-grade data protection measures in place. Your submissions are not used to train any public AI model and are not accessible to third parties. We treat your business information with the same confidentiality standard you would expect from any professional advisory relationship.
My business is running well right now. Do I actually need this?
Most business owners who eventually become clients said the same thing before a contractual dispute, an employment claim, or a shareholder disagreement surfaced. By that point the cost of resolution is typically between RM 50,000 and RM 200,000. LegalGuard's free AI-powered 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.
