Questions founders ask us

Your fee is agreed in writing before work starts. If a matter genuinely needs more time, the change is agreed with you in writing before any additional fee is incurred, so the number never moves without your sign-off.

Yes. Some work sits with a law firm by its nature: formal legal proceedings, and matters only a regulated practitioner may take on. Our team covers the everyday legal and HR work around them. When a matter needs a regulated practitioner, we introduce you to one directly.

Yes we do, we operate like a startup and can offer bespoke solutions for your company. For example, our Contract Outsource service started as a bespoke offering and is now part of our regular service offering. In this way, we stand out from law firms as we craft processes around your company's needs.

Yes, we offer various promotions, email us to find out more: hello@lduasia.com.

LDU is uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive legal support to both tech and non-tech startups. For tech startups, LDU offers guidance on intellectual property rights, data protection regulations, software licensing agreements, and navigating the evolving landscape of tech regulations. For tech and non-tech startups and SMEs, LDU can assist with foundational legal requirements, including business incorporation, employment contracts, compliance, and commercial agreements. The versatility of LDU's team ensures that whether a business operates in the digital realm or in traditional sectors, it receives tailored legal support that resonates with its industry, goals, and challenges.

We work alongside your external counsel and in-house team rather than replacing them, focusing on the day to day contracts, compliance and commercial work that would otherwise sit on their desk. A senior legal consultant picks up whatever you hand off, on a fee agreed in writing before work starts, so your existing counsel stays focused on the matters that need them most.

Book a free 15 minute call at lduasia.com/book, or email hello@lduasia.com. After that, every request runs through the LDU app, so nothing sensitive travels over chat.

Every engagement is owned by Daniel Kung, a Singapore senior legal consultant with fifteen years in-house at companies including Grab, IBM and Binance. Behind him sits a vetted bench of 40 plus consultants and specialists, all legally trained with experience across top tier law firms and major corporations, but the senior legal consultant who signs off on your matter is always named and always accountable.

A senior legal consultant handles you directly, on a fee you agree in writing before any work starts. No junior handoff, no surprise bill by the hour, and no meter running while you think through a decision. AI drafts the routine work, Daniel or a named senior legal consultant reviews and signs off on everything, and you always know the number before we start. When a matter needs a regulated practitioner, we introduce you to one directly.

Because you get senior legal judgment at startup scale: the fee agreed in writing before any work starts, a named legal consultant who signs off on everything, and turnaround measured in days, not weeks. It is the same expertise you would pay for at a full-time general counsel salary or a traditional firm's hourly rate, sized for a startup instead.
