For Australian businesses
A lawyer where your supplier is.
Manufacturing, sourcing, hiring or setting up in Malaysia or elsewhere in South-East Asia? Describe the job in plain words. Within 24 hours we introduce you to a lawyer admitted in that country, and from there you deal with them directly.
What Australian owners come to us for
The jobs that need a lawyer on the ground.
Protecting a design before the factory sees it
An NDA that works in the country the factory is in, signed before drawings, samples or pricing go across.
Supplier and manufacturing agreements
Quality, delivery, defects, payment terms and what happens when a shipment is wrong, drafted to hold up where the supplier is.
Setting up a company
A Malaysian Sdn Bhd or the local equivalent, with the resident director, licensing and bank account questions answered first.
Hiring on the ground
A country manager, a sales team or a workshop, on contracts that follow local employment law rather than an Australian template.
Distribution and agency
Exclusive or not, territory, minimum orders, and how to end it if the distributor does not perform.
Getting paid, or getting out
A counterparty that has stopped paying, a deposit that has vanished, a contract you need to leave. Someone who can act locally.

How it works
Three steps, no retainer.
Describe the job
Which country, what you are trying to do, and when. Two or three sentences is enough. Nothing is sent to a lawyer until you submit.
We match
Malaysian work goes to the reviewing firm. Elsewhere, we name the person we would use ourselves and make the introduction. You hear back within 24 hours.
You engage the lawyer directly
Scope and fees are agreed between you and the lawyer, in writing, before any work starts. Lawgistics takes no share of the fee and charges nothing for the introduction while we are in beta.
Start here
Tell us about the job.
We read every enquiry ourselves. Expect a reply from a person, not an automated match.
Lawgistics is not a law firm and nothing on this page is legal advice. We introduce you to a lawyer admitted in the country concerned, and advice comes from them. Work that turns out to be a question of Australian law is referred to an Australian law firm. Read the terms.
