Feedback from Our Clients

"We needed to set up a Sdn Bhd quickly but did not want to cut corners on the shareholder agreement. Wawasan Counsel drafted a constitution that actually reflects how we make decisions as co-founders — not just a standard template. The 90-day post-incorporation support was genuinely useful."

Co-Founder, technology firm · Petaling Jaya

"As a Singapore-based investor, I found the Malaysian incorporation process opaque at first. The team at Wawasan Counsel walked me through every stage, including the equity conditions that applied to my sector, and handled the entire registration. Communication was prompt throughout."

Director, investment company · Singapore

"Our company had not properly maintained board resolutions for two years by the time we engaged them. Wawasan Counsel helped us rectify the records and set up a proper governance process going forward. The quarterly compliance reviews have been a consistent reference point for our management team."

Managing Director, trading company · Shah Alam

"We had a shareholder dispute that had been simmering for months. What we needed was a structured path to resolution, not an escalation. Wawasan Counsel presented our options clearly, coordinated with a mediator, and helped us reach a documented buyout arrangement. The process was measured and professional throughout."

Business owner, food & beverage · Kuala Lumpur

"I appreciated that they reviewed our existing shareholder agreement before starting the dispute advisory — they identified a clause that actually worked in our favour that we had not noticed. The advice was practical, not just theoretical. The matter was resolved in about six weeks."

Wong Chin Fong

Director, property management firm · Subang Jaya

January 2026

"Clear, professional, and honest — which is exactly what you want from a legal adviser. They explained the entity selection options in plain language without making me feel pressured. The fee was exactly what was quoted. I will be returning for compliance advisory as the company grows."

Three Engagements in Detail

Multi-Founder Tech Startup: Structuring Equity and Decision-Making Before Day One

CHALLENGE

A four-person founding team needed to register a Sdn Bhd but had not agreed on equity splits, voting thresholds, or what would happen if a founder wanted to exit before the company reached profitability.

APPROACH

We conducted a structured intake session to understand each founder's contributions and expectations. We then drafted a constitution with customised share classes and a shareholder agreement that included vesting provisions and drag-along rights.

OUTCOME

The company was incorporated within 8 working days. Eighteen months later, one founding member exited using the agreed vesting mechanism — without dispute, as the agreement made the process clear to all parties from the outset.

"Having that agreement in place when we actually needed it made all the difference. The process was not adversarial because everyone already knew the terms."

Manufacturing SME: Preparing for Bank Financing and Statutory Audit

CHALLENGE

A 12-year-old Shah Alam manufacturing firm was seeking a term loan from a commercial bank. The bank's due diligence team identified gaps in board minutes, an overdue annual return, and an outdated company constitution.

APPROACH

We conducted a compliance review, prepared three years of retrospective board resolutions, filed the overdue annual return, and updated the company constitution. We then provided a compliance health-check report for the bank's review.

OUTCOME

The compliance deficiencies were resolved within 6 weeks. The bank's due diligence was satisfied and the term loan facility was approved. The company subsequently joined our governance retainer programme.

"We had no idea how much was outstanding. They worked through it systematically and gave us a clear report to give the bank. No drama — just organised."

Retail Partnership: Minority Shareholder Buyout Without Court Proceedings

CHALLENGE

A minority shareholder in a retail Sdn Bhd felt sidelined in business decisions and wanted to exit. The majority shareholders were not opposed but could not agree on a valuation, and both sides were concerned about disrupting the day-to-day business.

APPROACH

We reviewed the existing shareholder agreement and identified a pre-agreed valuation methodology. We then coordinated a mediation session, facilitated the valuation process using an independent accountant, and prepared all share transfer documentation.

OUTCOME

The buyout was completed in approximately 7 weeks without court involvement. The business continued operating without interruption. Both parties confirmed satisfaction with the process in post-engagement feedback.

"I was expecting months of back-and-forth. Instead, we had a settlement in seven weeks. The advice was measured and genuinely useful."
