Need a lawyer who actually understands business? You've found one.
I'm Ken, a qualified licensed Lawyer in Malaysia and General Legal Counsel for two international group companies, one in capital markets (SPACs, IPOs, De-SPACs) and the other in healthcare (HIFU medical technology).
I advise boards and senior management on high-stakes transactions and strategic decisions across multiple jurisdictions, the US, Hong Kong, China, and Southeast Asia countries.
My approach is simple: protect your downside while actively facilitating your growth. I don't hide behind legal jargon. I structure agreements that get the deal done safely, and I make sure you fully understand the practical implications of what you're signing.
What I bring to the table:
โ Corporate & Commercial โ Shareholders agreements, joint ventures, partnership structures, ESOP design, corporate restructuring, and advising founders on how to set up and scale their businesses properly from day one.
โ Transactions & Capital Markets โ Led complex transactions across IPOs, SPACs, M&A, cross-border fundraising, and business combinations. I focus on structuring deals that are commercially sound, cost-efficient, and executable within tight timelines.
โ Contracts & Agreements โ Drafted, reviewed, and negotiated hundreds of commercial agreements across multiple industries. From NDAs to subscription agreements to multi-party business combination agreements, I tailor every document to your commercial reality, not a generic template.
โ Compliance & Risk โ Built compliance frameworks aligned with SEC, HKEX, Nasdaq, NYSE, and regional regulators. Designed data privacy frameworks across GDPR, CCPA, PIPL, and PDPO.
โ Dispute Resolution & Litigation โ Experienced in shareholder disputes, employment claims, construction arbitration, contractual disputes, and regulatory proceedings. I resolve matters strategically, settlement where sensible, litigation where necessary.
I'm fluent in English, Mandarin, and Malay, and conversational in Cantonese, which means seamless communication whether you're a startup founder in KL, a board in Hong Kong, or an investor in New York.
Whether you need a single contract reviewed, a full corporate structure designed, or ongoing legal counsel for your growing business, send me a message and let's talk.

OVERVIEW/SUMMARY
I am an international technology, media, and intellectual property lawyer with 12+ years of experience supporting businesses in structuring, negotiating, and executing commercial transactions across AI, digital platforms, SaaS, and cross-border media environments.
My work sits at the intersection of law, commercial strategy, and deal execution helping clients not only understand legal risk, but actively negotiate and shape contractual outcomes that align with business objectives.
I regularly work with startups, technology companies, and media organisations on high-volume and high-value contracting, where clarity, speed, and commercial precision are critical.
CORE AREAS OF WORK
โข Leading and supporting negotiation of SaaS, AI, licensing, and commercial agreements
โข Structuring complex technology, media, and intellectual property transactions
โข Drafting and refining contracts to balance commercial intent with legal risk allocation
โข AI-related legal advisory, governance, and contracting frameworks
โข Intellectual property strategy, licensing, and ownership structuring
โข Media, content acquisition, and distribution agreements
โข Cross-border commercial contracts and regulatory alignment
โข Dispute prevention, pre-litigation strategy, and contractual risk resolution
โข NDA, vendor, and service agreement negotiation and optimisation
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Alongside my advisory practice, I have held in-house legal experience in an international media and broadcasting environment, where I managed high-volume commercial contracting, content rights arrangements, and cross-border operational coordination in regulated settings.
This experience enables me to operate not only as a legal adviser, but as a commercially embedded legal partner who understands execution pressure, stakeholder negotiation, and real-world business constraints.
HOW I WORK
I focus on delivering legal work that is:
โข commercially grounded (aligned with business goals, not abstract theory)
โข negotiation-aware (designed to perform in real bargaining situations)
โข structurally clear (reduces ambiguity and downstream disputes)
โข execution-oriented (built to move deals forward, not slow them down)
Clients engage me for clear thinking, disciplined drafting, and practical negotiation support in complex cross-border environments.
QUALIFICATIONS
โข PhD in Law: University of Technology Sydney
โข Contract Law Certification: Harvard University
โข LL.M. in Intellectual Property : George Washington University
โข Advocate, India (2013)
I frequently collaborate with local counsel where jurisdiction-specific representation or filing is required, ensuring seamless alignment between strategic legal direction and procedural execution across borders.

Fractional GC for fintech, prop trading, SaaS and M&A businesses. UK barrister, 35 years, 170+ Upwork projects, 100% success. I run your legal function.
What a Fractional GC Actually Does
Most founders don't need a law firm. They need one senior lawyer who already knows the business, answers the same day, and owns the legal work from first draft to signature:
ยท Contract flow - customer terms, supplier agreements, NDAs, SOWs, reseller and affiliate deals, all running off one playbook so your team stops asking me the same question twice
ยท Regulatory perimeter - where your model sits, what you can say in marketing, what your payment partners will accept before they onboard you
ยท Fundraising and equity- SAFEs, convertibles, term sheets, ESOPs, cap tables, board papers
ยท Data and platform - privacy policies, DPAs, GDPR and CCPA, marketplace and user terms
ยท Escalations - disputes, chargebacks, regulator correspondence, and knowing when to bring in local counsel and how to keep their bill down
You get a general counsel's judgement without a general counsel's salary.
Where I am sharpest: Prop Trading and Fintech
I act as legal manager for a fintech group building software and services for prop firms. Challenge models are my daily work, so I already know the arguments:
ยท Challenge and funded-trader agreements that hold up in front of a PSP, an acquirer, or an angry customer
ยท Payout, refund and breach terms written so your support team can apply them without ringing a lawyer
ยท The perimeter question โ simulated trading, marketing claims, and the point where a "challenge" starts to look like something regulated
ยท Multi-entity structures, IP ownership between group companies, white-label and licensing terms
If you sell to traders, I have probably already argued about the clause that is worrying you.
Track Record
I led legal due diligence on a $66 million oil field acquisition in China. One finding could have killed it. We used the finding as leverage and the deal closed.
Before consulting I spent eight years in investment banking on IPOs and M&A, sat as Executive Director, Legal Counsel and Company Secretary of a Hong Kong listed company, ran restructurings at RHB Investment Bank, and founded and sold businesses on three continents.
So I have sat on your side of the table. I know you want protection and you also want the thing signed this quarter.
How I Work
ยท Fractional GC Retainer โ an agreed block of hours each month, priority turnaround, one named lawyer who holds the context. Best value if legal work keeps landing on your desk. From $X per month.
ยท Project Counsel โ one transaction or one build, start to finish, fixed fee.
ยท Single Document โ drafted or reviewed on a fixed fee. First draft in three to five days, often inside 72 hours.
I prefer fixed fees. You get cost certainty, I get room to do the job properly, and neither of us is watching a clock.
Every document is written and checked by me, line by line, in plain English. A contract your sales team cannot read is a contract they will not follow.
Credentials
Barrister-at-Law, Middle Temple, England (1988) | Diploma in Law, City University London | BSc Joint Honours Economics and Law, University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
Qualified in England and Wales. Working across Singapore, the UK, the US, Australia, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Don't compromise on quality, work with a Top Rated Plus Barrister and Fractional General Counsel - with 100% Success.
