Dr. Antoine FONTAINE, our partner at ANANT Law Firm and a Co-founder of EuroCham, sat down with EuroCham Cambodia to reflect on almost 30 years of building Cambodia’s legal and business landscape. From contributing to the Criminal Code and advising on major reforms, to shaping regulatory frameworks for tax, PPPs, and key sectors, his work has influenced the foundations businesses rely on today.

He underscores three truths:
- Cambodia has moved from “almost no private law” to a modern, predictable system.
- Evidence-based advocacy is what gives EuroCham its real impact.
- The next decade hinges on regulatory clarity, SME support, and sustainable investment.

At ANANT Law Firm, these are the areas we focus on, helping clients navigate complex regulations with clarity, precision, and sector-specific expertise.
