CF Lee (Lee Chian Fuong)
12 years advising Malaysian businesses through M&A transactions, shareholder disputes, employment crises, and commercial contract negotiations. HRDC-accredited trainer. English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
Built across three distinct phases of Malaysian corporate law.
In-House Counsel
Started inside a large corporate, understanding how businesses actually work and what legal problems look like from the inside.
Corporate Lawyer
One of Malaysia's top-tier firms. Advised large corporates on complex transactions, M&A structuring, and high-value commercial disputes.
Partner
Boutique corporate practice. Focused on giving SME owners the same quality of commercial legal thinking that large corporates have access to.
"I kept seeing the same thing. SME owners getting into expensive, preventable legal problems. A proper document or one early conversation would have stopped most of them."
After years advising large corporates, the pattern was clear. Big companies had legal teams, proper agreements, and early warning systems. Growing SMEs had none of that, and they were paying for it in disputes, employment claims, and shareholder fallouts that nobody wanted.
LegalGuard is my way of closing that gap. Practical legal protection that is accessible before a crisis forces the issue. Not another corporate law firm website. A real tool that helps you find your exposure before it finds you.
The four situations where most Malaysian SME owners need a corporate lawyer.
A transaction with too much at stake to get wrong.
"We agreed on the deal. Now we need the paperwork done properly."
Share sale agreements, investment terms, joint ventures, and shareholder structures. Drafted to protect your position at the table and after the ink dries.
A business partner relationship that has broken down.
"There is no shareholders agreement and my partner wants out."
Deadlock resolution, compulsory transfer mechanisms, minority protection, and director disputes. Resolved commercially wherever possible.
A contract you need to understand before signing.
"They sent me a 40-page agreement and I need to know what I am agreeing to."
Clause-by-clause risk analysis on supplier, service, distribution, and commercial agreements. Plain English summary with specific flags for your business.
A staff issue that is turning into a formal complaint.
"A former employee is threatening to file a claim at the Labour Office."
Wrongful dismissal defence, domestic inquiry procedure, Employment Act compliance, and contractor classification. For businesses with staff this is where most disputes start.
