Whether you are speaking with investors, suppliers, employees, manufacturers, or potential business partners, we assist businesses with tailored Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), also commonly referred to as Confidentiality Agreements, as well as related commercial agreements.

Agreement Templates
Online free templates sometimes provide a starting point, but may not reflect the realities of your business, commercial arrangements, or relevant Malaysian laws. Common issues may include:
Confidentiality obligations that do not fit the parties’ actual arrangements
Unclear intellectual property ownership provisions
Inadequate liability and risk allocation clauses
Missing or unsuitable provisions under Malaysian law
A properly considered agreement tailored to your business model may help address transaction-specific legal and commercial risks.
To help you achieve this, we also assist with

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a template found online?
Templates may sometimes be useful as a starting point, but they may not address transaction-specific issues or legal considerations relevant to your circumstances.
How long does the process take?
Timeframes depend on complexity and scope. We aim to respond promptly and work efficiently, and provide the draft within approximately 1 to 4 weeks.
Do you only handle NDAs?
No. We also assist with related commercial agreements, including service agreements, supplier agreements, software development agreements, intellectual property licensing agreements, and other commercial contracts.
Do I need both an NDA and PDPA documentation?
Depends, an NDA helps protect confidential information shared between parties, whereas PDPA documentation relates to how personal data is collected, used, stored, and disclosed. Depending on your business activities, you may require one or both.
Does my business need a Privacy Notice?
Yes, if you collect personal data such as name, email addresses or phone numbers, from customers, employees, job applicants, or website visitors, you will need to have a Privacy Notice and supporting PDPA documentation in place, depending on your business operations.
