We have been providing legal services to the Royal Government of Cambodia, international investors, financiers and multilateral organisations in Cambodia since 1994, and we have had an office in Phnom Penh since 1999.

We are rated as a first tier law firm in Cambodia by the independent surveys Chambers Asia 2008 and Asia Pacific Legal 500 2007-08. Our experience and understanding of the legal and commercial environment, combined with our international expertise and regional resources, makes us an unmatched provider of legal services in Cambodia.

The focus of our practice in Cambodia is energy and resources (particularly oil and gas), major projects, banking and finance, M&A, inbound investment and corporate and commercial advice.
