Corporate & Commercial
Lawyer in Kuching.

How We Help

We act for start-ups, established local companies, and businesses expanding into Sarawak, advising on the full life cycle of a company — from incorporation through to growth, restructuring, and exit.

• Company incorporation, constitution drafting, and SSM compliance
• Mergers, acquisitions, and business sale or purchase transactions
• Joint ventures, shareholder agreements, and partnership structuring
• Commercial contracts — supply, distribution, licensing, and service agreements
• Corporate governance and regulatory compliance advisory

Our Approach

We start by understanding your business, not just the transaction in front of you. Agreements are drafted to protect your position long after signing, and advice is given in plain terms so you can make decisions with confidence.

For time-sensitive matters — an incorporation deadline, a deal under negotiation — we scope the work and timeline upfront so there are no surprises.

Why Choose Tang Advocates

• 20+ years advising businesses across Sarawak and Malaysia
• Local knowledge of the Kuching business landscape and SSM processes
• Direct access to senior advocates, not just case handlers
• Clear, upfront fee estimates before work begins

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a corporate lawyer in Kuching?

You should involve a corporate lawyer before you sign anything — incorporating a new company, bringing on a co-founder or investor, entering a joint venture, or negotiating a supply, distribution, or service agreement. Early advice on structure and drafting is far cheaper than untangling a dispute later.

Do you handle SSM company incorporation and compliance?

Yes. We assist with company incorporation through the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM), constitution drafting, statutory filings, and ongoing compliance under the Companies Act 2016, including for companies operating specifically in Sarawak.

Can you draft and review shareholder or joint venture agreements?

Yes. We regularly draft and negotiate shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements, and partnership terms — covering governance rights, exit mechanisms, deadlock resolution, and dispute clauses — for businesses of all sizes across Sarawak and Malaysia.

How much does corporate legal advice cost?

Fees depend on the complexity and scope of the matter — a straightforward contract review differs significantly from a multi-party acquisition. Contact us with details of your matter and we will provide a clear fee estimate before any work begins.
