Vietnamโ€™s regulatory and tax environment has been evolving drastically since 2025, concurrently with institutional streamlining. These changes open new opportunities to foreign investors, but also require fast adaptation and well-thought strategies.

These recognitions carry special meaning for us because they reflect work done in markets that demand far more than technical legal expertise. Cambodia tells a story of progress, professionalism and businesses continuing to move forward with confidence and ambition. Myanmar tells a different story. One defined by resilience, adaptability and the determination to keep building despite operating in one of the most complex business environments in the region. Through it all, our teams have remained committed to helping clients find clarity, manage risk and keep moving forward when conditions are anything but predictable.

These awards belong to our teams on the ground, our clients who continue to place their trust in us, and the belief that trusted legal counsel is fundamental to helping businesses operate with confidence and build for the future.
