Your Business Has Legal Gaps. Find Them Before They Find You.
LegalGuard is a business consultancy technology platform that helps Malaysian SME owners spot and manage legal risk early. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Where a situation clearly needs legal advice, we refer you to an affiliated Malaysian law firm as a separate step.
Most SME owners only look at legal risk 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 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.
Full profile and credentials →LegalGuard is not a law firm. Where a situation needs legal advice, we refer you.
LegalGuard is a business consultancy technology platform. Our tools flag risk and give you plain-language information so you can make informed decisions early. When a matter clearly requires formal legal advice — a live dispute, a regulatory issue, or a transaction that needs a lawyer's judgement — we refer you to an affiliated Malaysian law firm as a separate step. That engagement, if you choose to proceed, is handled under a normal lawyer-client relationship with that firm, not with LegalGuard.
You do not need a legal crisis to start understanding your risk.
Start with a free 2-minute risk check. If your position is clean, the report will tell you that clearly. If not, you will know exactly what to address first.
Common Questions from Malaysian SME Owners
Will I get charged more than what I see on the page?
The RM 138 contract review fee is exclusive of SST and any third-party disbursements. Disbursements such as SSM company searches, stamp duties or government filing fees are passed through at cost 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 contracts. It is not a generic chatbot. The system was internally validated and refined before launch to keep the analysis relevant and grounded in Malaysian commercial practice. Where a matter clearly needs formal legal advice, the report will flag it and point you to a referral to an affiliated Malaysian law firm as a separate step.
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 engage support 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 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.
