Accounts From Principals
I came in with a partner buyout that had been stalling for months. The Transaction Counsel engagement gave me a sober read on where the real friction was — and the written notes after each session were worth more than the conversations themselves.
Lim Cheng Hooi
Managing Director · Petaling Jaya · 18 May 2026
The Counterparty Read was thorough and, frankly, unflattering about a buyer I had been keen on. It changed how I opened the conversation. The only thing I would note is that it took the full six weeks — worth the wait, but plan for it.
Suriani Ramli
Founder · Shah Alam · 22 May 2026
A single Confidential Note settled a question I had been turning over for weeks — the wording of one clause in a heads of agreement. Clear, fixed fee, delivered ahead of schedule. No upselling, which I appreciated.
Rajesh Thanabalan
Director · Kuala Lumpur · 11 May 2026
What set the engagement apart was the discretion. I never once worried that something said in the chamber would travel. They worked alongside my lawyer without ever stepping on the legal side. Quietly excellent.
Adeline Wong
Principal · Mont Kiara · 28 May 2026
Pragmatic and unhurried. They declined to push me toward a deal my own enthusiasm was carrying, and laid out the downside plainly. I went ahead anyway — but with my eyes open. That honesty is rarer than it should be.
Faizal Abdullah
Group CEO · Putrajaya · 7 May 2026
I have used tessarxxas three times now across different transactions. The consistency is what keeps me coming back — same measured tone, same written rigour, no theatrics. For sensitive matters in this market, I would not go elsewhere.
Tan Yee Ling
Executive Chairman · Bangsar · 30 May 2026
Selected Matters
Particulars are abstracted to protect confidentiality. These accounts illustrate the shape of the work, not the identities behind it.
Challenge
A founding partner wished to exit a mid-sized trading business, but valuation talks had circled for half a year with no agreement and rising tension.
Counsel
We reframed the conversation around the remaining partners' liquidity rather than a headline figure, and drafted working notes ahead of each negotiation session.
Outcome
Terms were agreed within seven weeks of engagement, with a staged payout that satisfied both sides. The relationship between the parties remained civil.
"It moved because someone outside the room finally named the real obstacle."
Challenge
A principal received an attractive offer for her company from an acquirer she knew little about, and felt pressed to respond quickly.
Counsel
We assembled a written profile of the acquirer's pattern across prior purchases, including how earn-out commitments had been honoured in the past.
Outcome
The principal renegotiated the structure to front-load consideration. The revised terms held, and the transaction closed on a firmer footing.
"The profile told me what the pitch deck never would."
Challenge
A director was uncertain how a non-compete term in a draft heads of agreement might bind him personally beyond the company sale.
Counsel
A focused written response set out the commercial implications of the clause and proposed two alternative formulations to raise with counsel.
Outcome
The director entered his next meeting with a clear position. The clause was narrowed to a defined scope before signing.
"A small fee for a question that would have cost me far more unanswered."
