Myanmar

We understand the legal and political landscape and have a deep understanding of doing business in Myanmar. This is critical when structuring clients’ investments, mitigating risk and ensuring regulatory compliance. In addition, members of the team have worked on the drafting of the proposed new Myanmar Companies Law and have been running seminars in Myanmar and overseas in preparation for its implementation. The process itself has been praised as one of the most open and comprehensive legislative reform processes in Myanmar to date and we will be undertaking ongoing capacity development work as the law is implemented.

We have been assisting foreign investors establish their presence in Myanmar since 2011 when Myanmar began on its road to a disciplined democracy. We have lived, breathe and shaped the investment law framework in Myanmar.

We have advised on complex investment structures and large scale investments in all the key sectors including real estate, telecommunications, consumer goods, hotels, financial services, oil and gas, energy and power.

We are not just commentators; we have real deal experience. We are advising various regional and international MNCs on their investment strategies into Myanmar and their day-to-day operations as well, including relations with regulators, counterparties and employees.
