Since opening in 2013, our on-the-ground experience and knowledge of local laws, practices, and customs have supported international companies entering the market
We work closely with K&A Legal Alliance Limited, a local firm established by locally qualified lawyers who have been working in our Myanmar practice team and are fluent in Japanese and English. Together, our aim is to continue supporting companies in Myanmar who face increasing difficulties navigating the country's various challenges by providing solutions based on our wealth of experience and knowledge of local practices.
Our Yangon office handles a wide range of legal issues, including investigations of foreign investment regulations and permits, M&A (including dissolution of joint ventures), disputes with local companies, crisis management, labor issues, issues related to business withdrawal, and human rights due diligence. We support clients in areas including manufacturing, infrastructure (real estate, logistics, construction, telecommunications, energy), financial, commercial, and service industries (IT, healthcare, and others).
We are also involved in several public activities, including legal system surveys, provision of legal aid, and lobbying support activities at the request of the Japanese government.
K&A Legal Alliance Limited is an independent Myanmar law firm and Nishimura & Asahi enjoys strategic alliance with K&A.
