Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a due diligence review typically cover for a Malaysian acquisition?
Our review covers corporate documents (constitution, shares), material contracts, employment and executive arrangements, intellectual property registrations, litigation history and pending disputes, regulatory licenses and approvals, and real property titles. Findings are compiled into a risk-categorised report with recommendations on conditions precedent and deal adjustments.
How long does a standard M&A transaction take from term sheet to completion?
Mid-market transactions in Malaysia typically run two to four months from signed term sheet to completion, depending on the complexity of the target, the number of regulatory approvals required, and the pace of negotiations between parties. We will outline a realistic timeline at the start of your engagement.
Do you advise on both share deals and asset acquisitions?
Yes. We structure and document both share purchase agreements and asset purchase agreements, along with business transfer arrangements. The choice between structures has tax, regulatory, and liability implications — our structuring advice at the outset helps clients choose the most appropriate form for their objectives.
What regulatory approvals are commonly required in Malaysian M&A transactions?
Common approvals depend on the sector and deal structure. They may include filings with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM), approvals from the Foreign Investment Committee or Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) for foreign-involved transactions, and sector-specific licences. We identify the relevant approvals during structuring and manage the preparation of applications.
What is included in post-acquisition integration support?
Integration support covers SSM filings for share transfers and directorship changes, preparation of board resolutions, amendments to the company's constitution, updates to the shareholder register, employee transition arrangements, and contract novation for key agreements. We typically provide this support over an eight to twelve week window following completion.
How are your fees structured?
Fees are published as starting points for standard scope engagements. A detailed cost estimate is provided after an initial scoping discussion, where we clarify the data room volume, transaction complexity, and specific regulatory requirements. We aim to present clear, predictable fee arrangements rather than open-ended billing.
