The problem

Paper is where deals stall and risk hides.

None of these are drafting problems. They are pricing and ownership problems: nobody senior owns your paper, so it is slow, uncertain and priced by the hour.

Free templates are written for someone else's company under someone else's law. You find out which clauses fail on the day someone tests them.

Re: Fee estimate, MSA redraft

Hourly firm, example

Estimated fees

S$6,000 to S$7,500

    The final number arrives after the work is done.

    estimate only

    The estimate is a floor, never a ceiling

    Hourly firms cannot tell you what a contract will cost until it is done. Every asterisk on the quote is a number that only moves up.

    Deal heat

    cooling

    Nobody re-reads a contract faster because you are anxious.

    cooling off

    The deal cools while the paper waits

    Every unsigned week is a week the customer can change their mind. Slow paperwork is not a legal cost, it is a revenue cost.

    The bundle

    Ten hours. Every document you are sitting on.

    One senior legal consultant takes the whole stack, in the order that unblocks you fastest. If it is paper and it matters, it fits in the bundle.

    Reads every clauseDaniel KungFounder & Principal, LDU Asia
    1. NDAs, service agreements, employment contracts and policies drafted for Singapore law and your actual deal, not adapted from a template of unknown origin.

    2. The other side's paper marked up, the risky clauses translated into plain English, and the back-and-forth argued through to signature.

    3. SAFEs, term sheets and shareholder agreements checked line by line before you sign away more than you meant to.

    4. Contracts you already signed, reviewed for the clauses that bite later: auto-renewals, indemnities, IP leaks and missing liability caps.

    5. Bundle hours cover questions too: a clause you do not trust, a letter you are about to send, whatever needs a senior consultant's eye today.

    Every bundle comes with a mutual NDA before documents move, a shared deal room for the stack, and a direct WhatsApp line to the team. If ten hours will not cover the job, we say so before you pay, not after.

    The math

    Three ways to get the paper done. One is agreed in writing first.

    Founders usually run this comparison after the first bad invoice or the first template that failed. Here it is up front instead.

    for ten senior hours, in writing before we start

    • Need more time: agreed with you in writing first
    • Finish under: the balance rolls forward
    • A senior legal consultant signs off on every page

    The hourly-firm figure is an illustration of market billing, not our pricing. The bundle is the same senior work with the meter removed: ten hours at a fee you get in writing after the free call.

    How it starts

    From backlog to signed in days, not weeks.

    No onboarding project, no discovery phase billed by the hour. One call, one fee in writing, then the drafts start landing.

    1. Day 0

      A free call with Daniel

      Fifteen minutes on the stack you are sitting on. You leave knowing what matters, what can wait, and what the bundle covers, whether you buy or not.

    2. Day 1

      One number, and the deal room opens

      The price arrives in writing. A private deal room opens for your documents, with a mutual NDA signed and a direct WhatsApp line for everything in between.

    3. Day 3

      The first drafts come back

      Documents return drafted or redlined with plain-English notes on what changed and why. From there the stack keeps moving until it is signed.

    More time is agreed with you in writing before it starts. Hours you do not use roll into next month.

    Built for a real backlog. Honestly, not for every document.

    Read both lists. If the left one looks like your desk, the free call will be worth it.

    You need this if

    • Unsigned contracts are stalling deals right now
    • You are about to sign something you do not fully understand
    • Your templates are a patchwork nobody has vetted
    • Customers keep sending paper their lawyers wrote
    • Legal review is the slowest step in your sales cycle

    You do not need it yet if

    • Nothing is waiting on a signature
    • One standard template genuinely covers your business
    • You need a courtroom litigator, not drafting

    Not sure the bundle fits? Book the call anyway. If one document is all you need, Daniel will say so and price just that.

    • Anything contract-shaped: drafting from scratch, redlining the other side's paper, reviewing what you already signed, and the questions in between. You set the priorities and we work down the stack.

    • We agree it with you first. If a document runs long, we tell you before any extra time starts and agree the change in writing, so the number never moves without your yes. And if we can see up front that ten hours will not cover the job, we tell you before you pay, not after.

    • Unused hours roll into the next month, so the bundle never quietly expires. Most clients bank them against the next contract they already know is coming.

    • AI does the heavy lifting behind the scenes; a senior Singapore legal consultant directs it and signs off on every document that leaves. Nothing reaches your counterparty without a senior legal consultant's approval.

    • Most drafts and redlines land within two working days. If a deal is time-critical, say so on the call and we schedule the work around your signature date.

    • Yes. A mutual NDA is signed before any document moves, everything runs on LDU's private servers, and nothing is ever sent to outside AI providers.
