The Malaysian biz laws, rules and regulations follow closely that of United Kingdom and Australia.


The principal law that governs corporate entities is the Companies Act, 1965. All companies whether private or public must be registered with the Registrar of Companies. Once registered, they are subjected to the Company Laws, Rules & Regulations. As for partnerships, they are regulated by the Partnership Act.


The Contract Act governs most biz transactions and contractual agreements between mutual parties. It helps to settle trade disputes, disagreements and decide on degree of damages. 


If you want to draft your own simple agreements, understand the meanings of certain laws, rules & regulations, you can refer to our Expert Advice. However, for complicated agreements and legal opinion, we advise you to consult a advocate & solicitor.
