What Our Clients
Say About the Work

Challenge

A three-founder tech company needed a registered Sdn Bhd before a grant application closing date — seven working days from initial instruction. The shareholders had an unequal equity split with different voting rights for operational and strategic decisions.

Solution

Amanah Legal conducted an intake call on day one to capture the shareholding and voting structure, drafted a tailored constitution the same day, coordinated digital execution across three founders in different states, and submitted to SSM on day three.

Outcome

Certificate of Incorporation received on day six — one day before the grant deadline. The founders proceeded to submit their grant application. The voting rights structure held up without amendment when a fourth investor joined eight months later.

Challenge

A German industrial group wanted to establish a wholly foreign-owned manufacturing subsidiary in Malaysia. The sector involved a controlled manufacturing activity requiring MIDA clearance, and the parent company documents required legalisation for Malaysian use.

Solution

Amanah Legal prepared a written analysis on wholly foreign-owned eligibility under the Manufacturing Licence framework, guided the German team through apostille requirements, and coordinated the parallel SSM and MIDA application tracks with regular status updates.

Outcome

Subsidiary incorporated and Manufacturing Licence application lodged within five weeks. The German parent commented specifically on the clarity of updates provided — noting that previous legal engagements in other ASEAN jurisdictions had been considerably less communicative.

Challenge

A family-controlled property group wanted to restructure three operating entities under a new holding company ahead of a planned expansion. The existing constitutions had conflicting provisions across entities, and one held a minority shareholder whose consent was required.

Solution

Amanah Legal reviewed all three existing constitutions, identified the conflicting provisions, drafted a restructuring sequence that managed the minority consent requirement appropriately, and coordinated with the group's tax advisor on the stamp duty implications of each transfer step.

Outcome

Restructuring completed over six weeks with no shareholder disputes. The new holding structure was in place before the year-end accounting date, which simplified the audit consolidation. The family noted the restructuring had been cleaner than any previous corporate exercise they had undertaken.
