Quick answer
Our agreement drafting service prepares standard and customised business contracts under the advice and review of a qualified Malaysian legal practitioner. It starts with a consultation on the key commercial terms, then drafting, revisions and delivery of the final agreement. Contracts in Malaysia are governed mainly by the Contracts Act 1950, and many agreements must be stamped under the Stamp Act 1949 to be admissible as evidence.

Overview
Most business disputes trace back to an agreement that was never written, copied from the internet, or did not match what the parties actually agreed. A contract drafted for your deal sets out who does what, when payment is due, what happens on delay or default, and how the relationship ends.
In Malaysia, contracts are governed mainly by the Contracts Act 1950, and many agreements — tenancy, shareholder and loan agreements among them — must be stamped under the Stamp Act 1949. An unstamped instrument is not admissible as evidence until stamped with penalty, so stamping is part of doing it properly.
We begin with a consultation to understand the commercial arrangement, draft the agreement under the review of a qualified legal practitioner, take you through the key clauses and revise until it is final. Common agreements include shareholder agreements, service and consultancy agreements, supply and distribution agreements, tenancy agreements, NDAs and employment contracts.
