Our Practical Approach
We provide a broad service corporate and commercial capability across industries. In combination with our technical capabilities, a key aspect of our legal services offering is our familiarity with the Myanmar regulatory and operating landscape and our ability to help our clients navigate that landscape. We can and do apply that ability across a broad range of work and in various industry sectors.
Our senior foreign lawyers have significant experience working in in-house legal roles in companies, including head office roles in listed companies. Working inside companies calls for a very commercial, practical, hands-on approach and a strong understanding of the business you’re working with.
​
Our experience in applying that commercial and hands-on approach is something that stands us in good stead in a developing market like Myanmar, where our clients need to be flexible and practical. We pride ourselves on combining high technical and professional standards with practical execution and strong commercial understanding. We firmly believe that understanding our clients’ commercial drivers is essential to our ability to do our job well as commercial lawyers.
