Yangon

Since its opening, our Yangon office has been handling 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 all areas of the manufacturing, infrastructure (real estate, logistics, construction, telecommunications, energy), financial, commercial, and service industries (IT, healthcare, and others).

We have also been involved in a number of public activities, including legal system surveys, provision of legal aid, and lobbying support activities at the request of the Japanese government, and have been taking advantage of countless opportunities to share our knowledge of Myanmar's legal system gained through our activities in the country via various publications, seminars, and other activities.

Our Yangon office will, in collaboration with K&A Legal Alliance Limited (“K&A”), a firm established by Myanmar attorneys who have been working in our Myanmar practice team and are fluent in Japanese and English, continue to support companies in Myanmar, which are facing increasing difficulties in navigating their way through the country's various challenges, by providing problem-solving support based on our wealth of experience and local practices.

K&A Legal Alliance Limited is an independent Myanmar law firm and Nishimura & Asahi enjoys strategic alliance with K&A.
