Why we built LDU
We launched LDU (Legal Disruption Unit) in true startup fashion by renting a tiny industrial office in the heartlands of Singapore and spending weekends and late nights building the company little by little. It wasn’t the kind of polished office space you might expect from lawyers, but it was more than enough for us. It gave us the space to focus, reflect, and build something we felt the legal industry genuinely needed.
We had grown increasingly frustrated with how legal services were being delivered to startups and small businesses. Traditional law firms often felt slow, expensive, and hard to work with. Too much of the work was delegated, communication was indirect, and the experience was rarely aligned with the pace and budget of an early-stage business.
There was a clear disconnect between what clients actually needed and how the legal industry operated. Founders were not looking for long memos or inflated partner time. They wanted timely, practical advice from someone who understood their business and could communicate directly.
So we built a different kind of legal service. One where clients speak directly to the lawyer doing the work. Where turnaround times are faster. Where pricing is clear and flexible.
No fluff, no unnecessary layers. Just legal support that fits how insanely fast and complicated small businesses operate these days.
As much as it might look like we’re trying to disrupt the legal industry, we’re really not. What we’re doing is much simpler than that.
We’re just trying to make legal support work better for the people who actually need it.

of small businesses in Asia lack access to affordable and quality legal services
more likely to survive and grow as a startup and SME if quality legal advice was sought and provided in the early years
