Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP

Deputy Managing Partner, Melisa Uremovic, shares her views on adapting to clients’ needs and the Firm’s direction in a hyper-competitive legal Thai market   1) What do you see as the main points that differentiate R&T Asia (Thailand) Limited from your competitors? It would definitely be our geographical reach. Being part of the Rajah & Tann Asia (RTA) Network gives our clients access to experts in Thailand and 9 other jurisdictions across Asia, each embodying the network’s tagline “Lawyers Who Know Asia”. In Thailand itself, our Firm houses a robust and dedicated team of more than 60 lawyers with deep local knowledge and profound understanding of both local and global legal frameworks and Thai cultural nuances, seamlessly bridging the gap between international experience and domestic intricacies. This comprehensive approach equips us to confidently guide clients through the complexities of cross-border legal matters, delivering bespoke solutions that address their unique needs. Furthermore, our connections with government agencies, business leaders, and other legal professionals in the field is second to none, granting us valuable insights and resources which enhances our ability to navigate the intricacies of the Thai legal system and business environment.   2) Which practices do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that? Some of the practices we can anticipate growth in the next 12 months would be Data Privacy and Security Law, Technology and Intellectual Property Law, Dispute Resolution and Alternative Dispute Resolution along with Environmental, Sustainability, and Governance (ESG). For Data Privacy and Security Law, the main drivers behind that are that Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is maturing, with stricter enforcement and ongoing amendments creating increased compliance demands for businesses. As for the Technology and Intellectual Property Law, with digital transformation, AI and robotics development, copyright enforcement along with Thailand’s rapid embrace of digital technologies, drives demand for legal expertise in different areas and intellectual property protection for AI-powered solutions. Additionally with dispute resolution, the key drivers are potentially commercial growth and cross-border disputes. With Thailand’s thriving economy and active international trade and investment relations, this will further create demand for litigation arbitration services along with necessitate skilled lawyers versed in cross-border dispute resolution mechanisms and international arbitration protocols. In terms of Environmental Sustainability Governance (ESG), the main key drivers would be increasing public awareness, compliance with regulations along with cost reduction and efficiency gains. As Thailand’s public is becoming more aware of environmental concerns like pollution and climate change, this leads to business adopting ESG practices to improve public perception and branding image. Furthermore, Thailand has also implemented various environmental regulations which businesses need to comply with. Finally, implementing sustainable practices offers tangible financial benefits through resource efficiency, waste reduction, and energy savings, making ESG an attractive proposition from a cost-reduction perspective.   3) What's the main change you've made in the firm that will benefit clients? Our firm has implemented several key initiatives that have demonstrably benefited our clients and will continue to do so in the long run. These initiatives focus on three key areas: Investing in talent development: We are committed to fostering a dynamic and skilled team, nurturing the next generation of legal professionals through ongoing training and professional development programs.  We recently elevated four exceptional senior associates to partner level, which recognizes their significant contributions and strengthens our leadership team, enhancing the level of expertise we offer to our clients. Building cross-border expertise: We continue to strategically expand our capabilities to handle complex international legal matters, seamlessly partnering with colleagues around the world to serve clients' global needs. Our Firm continues to offer secondments within the RTA network and with clients, which resulted in greater exposure to other legal markets, better investments, and deeper relationship with our clients. Integration of technology into our practice: Throughout the RTA Network, we have focused on building out technology solutions that are changing the way we do legal work. Our clients have access to Rajah & Tann Technologies, which offers multidisciplinary tech-enabled legal solutions including data breach readiness and response, cybersecurity, electronic discovery and digital forensics, virtual law academy, contract management, as well as other LegalTech services, all of which models around meeting our clients’ demands in the digital economy.   4) Is technology changing the way you interact with your clients, and the services you can provide them? Yes, definitely. As mentioned previously, our clients have access to Rajah & Tann Technologies, which houses legal tech offerings, meticulously designed and customized to address distinctive requirements of our clients in the rapidly evolving legal landscape. Additionally, our clients are also able to access our RTA Competition & Trade mobile application, which provides regular relevant updates and resources on the latest legal and regulatory developments in the areas of competition & antitrust, trade, and consumer protection from across the region, on the go. The RTA Competition & Trade mobile app includes access to our lawyers, comparative overviews of key topics ranging from merger controls to export controls, and also insights into issues trending in Asia. Our clients also have access to our one-stop arbitration website which covers the latest legislative and regulatory developments, case alerts, market updates and events or happenings across Rajah & Tann Asia’s geographical footprint. As the legal industry continues to evolve, we continue to keep our clients abreast of legal updates across various practices and industries, that are readily available via multiple online platforms which are easily accessible anywhere in the world.   5) Can you give us a practical example of how you have helped a client to add value to their business? One of the examples where our firm played a pivotal role in a client’s success and added value to their business was for our client, Export-Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Thailand). They are a leading state-owned financial institution who achieved the prestigious “Best Practice” recognition for exemplary implementation of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). This accomplishment stemmed from their participation in the Government Platform for PDPA Compliance (GPPC) project, organized by the Thai government. We secured the engagement for EXIM Thailand’s PDPA compliance audit, providing comprehensive legal guidance throughout the process. This included reviewing privacy documents, identifying compliance gaps, and assisting in their remediation prior to program participation. EXIM Thailand’s “Best Practice” recognition translates to tangible value for their business in mainly three different areas: Reduced Legal Risk: Our meticulous due diligence minimized the risk of potential fines or legal repercussions associates with non-compliance Enhanced Brand Reputation: This high-profile recognition bolsters EXIM Thailand’s image as a leader in data privacy, potentially attracting new clients and partners in long run Improved Internal Processes: Our support in implementing robust data protection practices within EXIM Thailand streamlines their operations and minimizes disruptions related to data breaches   6) Are clients looking for stability and strategic direction from their law firms - where do you see the firm in three years’ time? Absolutely, our clients place a high value on stability and strategic direction, and we are committed to delivering both. Looking ahead, in three years’ time, we envision our firm not only grown in size but enhanced in every aspect. Our primary focus remains to continue solidifying our position as a top-tier, elite firm within Thailand's top Firms, renowned for leading transactions, navigating complex regulatory challenges, and excelling in high-profile disputes. We recognize that mere size is not the sole metric of success. We are equally dedicated to expanding our service capabilities and solidifying our sterling reputation. Our ongoing investment in talent development is fostering a robust pipeline of exceptional legal minds, poised to fill the ranks of senior and junior partners, ultimately joining the firm's leadership. Finally, we remain firmly committed to continuous investment in technology, recognizing its critical role in enhancing efficiency, streamlining workflows, and fostering collaboration across teams and borders. This unwavering commitment to innovation will ensure that our firm remains at the forefront of the legal landscape, consistently exceeding our client expectations.

Navigating Legal Frontiers, Innovating for Clients: Rajah & Tann LCT Lawyers as A Pan-Asian Powerhouse Strategically Positioned for Future Growth.   1) What do you see as the main points that differentiate Rajah & Tann LCT lawyers from your competitors? Rajah & Tann LCT Lawyers is a leading full-service Vietnamese law firm. It is among Vietnam’s most prominent, representing a wide range of multinational and domestic clients on a variety of business and investment matters. With practice groups spanning all areas from banking and finance to litigation and tax, the firm is best placed to serve its clients across a broad platform of practices in all key legal issues affecting their business in Vietnam. Our lawyers bring to the table in-depth knowledge of local laws and regulations, and are committed to providing services of international quality. The firm is the Vietnam regional member of Rajah & Tann Asia – a network of more than 1,000 legal professionals and the first unified, coherent and authentically Asian legal services offering throughout the region. With a footprint in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam (and dedicated desks serving clients in Brunei, Japan and South Asia), Rajah & Tann Asia is the region’s new “home team” of “Lawyers Who Know Asia”.   2) Which practices do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that? We anticipate growth in China-related investments in the next 12 months, as investors see Vietnam as a key component of their global supply chains – particularly in large-scale manufacturing. Investments from China have been (and are expected to remain) diverse, and we have been witnessing increasing volumes of investor interest in areas such as energy, electronics, consumer goods and even automobiles (particularly EVs). We further anticipate strong demand in arbitration, as the Vietnam International Arbitration Centre continues to play a significant role in promoting ADR within the country. Proposed reforms to Vietnam’s arbitration law are expected to foster growth in this field, by establishing Vietnam as an increasingly arbitration-friendly jurisdiction. We also see growth in our practices that serve investors in the digital economy space, as well as data protection work. The Government has recently enacted new laws in the personal data protection, telecoms, consumer protection and electronic transactions space, and regulations concerning internet and online services are in the pipeline. We foresee this will drive growth in our Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) practice – particularly on regulatory support.   3) What's the main change you've made in the firm that will benefit clients? We are constantly honing our domain expertise and developing our practices in specialised areas of law. For example, the firm now boasts lawyers with deep industry knowledge in fields such as real estate, clean energy maritime/shipping and technology, media and telecommunications (TMT). We have further established a dedicated Tax practice, covering both advisory and contentious tax matters.   4) Is technology changing the way you interact with your clients, and the services you can provide them? The firm has such adopted technologies to accommodate the “new normal” following the COVID-19 pandemic, and is consistently on the lookout for innovations (including in technology) to create efficiencies in service-delivery for, and enhance relationships with, clients. Rajah & Tann Asia sits at the forefront of technology in the legal industry and (through Rajah & Tann Technologies) offers value-added legal solutions to clients in the new economy. Regional collaboration sits as one of the foundations of Rajah & Tann Technologies, by enabling all regional offices (including our firm in Vietnam) to provide tech-enabled legal solutions that are suitable and adapted for local markets.   5) Can you give us a practical example of how you have helped a client to add value to their business? The biggest value that we add to our client’s business is the ability to seamlessly deliver pan-Asian solutions through the Rajah & Tann Asia network – often acting as a “one-stop shop”. For example, in the past year alone: We have, in collaboration with our lawyers in Singapore, successfully represented our Vietnamese clients in international arbitral proceedings involving a Vietnam substantive law and Singapore procedural law. We have coordinated the delivery of regulatory advice spanning multiple jurisdictions across Southeast Asia, and offer a one-stop shop our clients that seek to “go regional” in Asia. We have advised and acted for clients in M&A transactions of companies with a presence across Asia, through coordinating due diligence and finalisation of transaction documents with our lawyers in the region.   6) Are clients looking for stability and strategic direction from their law firms - where do you see the firm in three years’ time? Clients certainly do look for stability and strategic direction from their law firms, but at the same time appreciate firms that are able to innovate (and enhance efficiencies in service delivery). Our strategic direction is to consistently strive to remain ahead of the curve – not just jump on the bandwagon. We see technology playing a greater role in the firm’s offerings in three years’ time (including with the advent of legal practice management and AI-driven solutions) and Rajah & Tann Asia has positioned itself as a network that stands ready to avail of technological innovations where they will maximise value-add for clients. With investment interest in Vietnam showing no signs of wavering, Rajah & Tann LCT Lawyers looks to continue remaining one of Vietnam’s most trusted legal advisors. Furthermore, as the investment appetite of homegrown Vietnamese companies grow, the firm (in its unique position at Rajah & Tann Asia) stands ready to support as a springboard for those companies to expand their investments in the region.

What do you see as the main points that differentiate [law firm name] from your competitors? Our culture. We are dedicated to integrity and results, and to nurturing these principles in our lawyers. The Firm is fortunate to have clients that have journeyed with us over the last decade, and to have grown from strength to strength not just organically but with several exceptional lateral hires over the years. This January, we welcome yet another exceptional team of 15 lawyers who are leading lights in the field of M&A, Capital Markets, and Banking, making us one of the largest law firms in Malaysia. This significant integration reflects CLO’s commitment to providing our clients with the highest levels of legal services, and to staying ahead of the curve by seizing opportunities to meet market demands. Geographical Reach Being part of the Rajah & Tann Asia (“RTA”) Network, one of the largest full-service ASEAN legal networks, gives us access to a network of law firms across South East Asia with over 1,000 practitioners with on-the-ground knowledge and insights to assist clients in their cross-border investments and business ventures across sectors and industries. Access to Industry Experienced and Specialist Practitioners We have experienced specialist practitioners as well as industry experienced practitioners. We deploy teams with lawyers in different and complementary practice areas, ensuring clients have access to the right team to enable them to secure the best possible outcome. This means clients not only get a dedicated team of lawyers who will act as their business partner, but also receive in-depth and consistent legal services across the region. We also host a plethora of local and regional events and bespoke training sessions which give our clients the opportunity to obtain legal and practical insights on the latest developments in the law, as well as matters of concern to our clients. Which practices do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that? With the new team joining, we expect to see a significant increase in large, public M&A transactions for the Firm, and a continued upswing in our Capital Markets engagements. Aside from these areas, like the rest of the region, the following areas are likely to be of interest to our clients: TMT & Data Protection Many areas in technology are seeing accelerated growth around the world and Malaysia is no exception. Large as well as medium sized organisations are now adopting major digitization and digitalization of their business operations, optimising their IT infrastructure and adopting innovative ways to embrace new technologies to stay relevant and competitive in an uncertain business landscape. With businesses increasingly adopting cloud-based services and data analytics tools, concerns are being raised about data security and privacy, necessitating advice and assistance in areas involving new licensing requirements on the provision of cybersecurity and cloud services in Malaysia. The rise of AI and machine learning technologies also require careful consideration of ethical and legal implications which our experienced team in the TMT Practice continues to advise on. Additionally, the Cybersecurity Bill is expected to be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat in the Parliamentary session early in 2024. This will undoubtedly lead to an increase in enquiries on cyber security laws. Our strong Data Privacy & Protection Practice is also expecting to see significant growth in the coming 12 months, as the Government aims to review and amend the Malaysian Personal Data Protection Act 2010 ("PDPA"), with a view to align the PDPA with international standards, in particular the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Malaysia has also seen the launch of satellite broadband services, as well as the proposed rollout of a second 5G network. Social media continues to grow, not just from a technological perspective but also its breadth and reach into e-commerce and content. These developments should also continue to keep our Telecommunications and Media practices, respectively, busy. All of the foregoing factors should continue to drive the growth in our leading TMT and Data Privacy & Protection practice group. Sustainability / ESG As Sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices increasingly gain traction, with many Government linked companies (GLC) adopting ESG policies and net zero targets, a greater number of organisations are likely to also adopt the green agenda in their business practice not just to ensure continued business ties with GLCs, but also given societal demands for greater governance and accountability. Since inception, ESG principles have been at the heart of the way we practice. Our Firm has a strong Sustainability practice, led by local and legal practitioners experienced in various areas of law, enabling us to provide holistic advice to our clients seeking to comply with the evolving Malaysian and regional sustainability regulations. CLO also houses a long-standing Renewable Energy practice as well as a Banking and Finance practice which are able to assist investors in the renewables space as well as financial institutions who are focused on providing green financing. The increasing awareness that economic crimes have far reaching costly effects, and with governments globally promoting a compliance culture, transparency, and accountability, we foresee clients requiring assistance in navigating their compliance obligations, carrying out internal investigations, and requiring risk mitigation and prevention strategies, such as developing and improving internal protocols and compliance programmes. We therefore also foresee increased demand for our Corporate and Regulatory practices, in particular for ABAC and AML compliance, and ESG reporting obligations. Competition & Antitrust With the review of the Competition Act 2010, including the proposed introduction of merger control provisions in 2024, we foresee potential growth in our Competition practice given the relatively healthy M&A activity in Malaysia, although there is likely to be a sunrise period after the law is amended; meaning we could only see tangible increased demand in 2025, unless the Government expedites the rollout of merger control next year. What's the main change you've made in the firm that will benefit clients? As mentioned above, the new team joining CLO in January are market leaders, recognised as leading lawyers and rising stars in Malaysia by clients, peers, and legal publications. They bring a wealth of experience and industry insights, further strengthening our Firm’s capabilities to meet growing client needs in the areas of law impacted by the rise of M&As, increase in foreign investments in Malaysia, as well as the continued demand for IPOs and capital market exercises. Aside from this, the Firm has taken some efforts to make its Disputes team, which is one of the largest in Malaysia, more visible to clients so as to enable clients to consult across practices on legal strategy even before a potential dispute arises or is litigated. Beyond being a full-service law firm, we are also positioned to allow clients the comfort of working with their preferred relationship partner throughout a dispute, together with the relevant Disputes partner on the suit. Is technology changing the way you interact with your clients, and the services you can provide them? Yes, very much so. Our clients are provided with access to Rajah & Tann Technologies, which offers multidisciplinary tech-enabled legal solutions including data breach readiness and response, cybersecurity, electronic discovery and digital forensics, virtual law academy, contract management, as well as other LegalTech services, all of which are modeled around meeting our clients’ demands in the digital economy. Additionally, our clients are also able to access our RTA Competition & Trade mobile application, which provides regular relevant updates and resources on the latest legal and regulatory developments in the areas of competition & antitrust, trade, and consumer protection from across the region, on the go. The RTA Competition & Trade mobile app includes access to our lawyers, comparative overviews of key topics ranging from merger controls to export controls, and also insights into issues trending in Asia. Our clients also have access to our one-stop arbitration website which spotlights on Asia, covering the latest legislative and regulatory developments, case alerts, market updates and events or happenings across Rajah & Tann Asia’s geographical footprint. With the view of bringing a human touch to the digital world, we continued to work with our regional counterparts to host bespoke hybrid conferences which saw us interacting with clients through physical webinars (with limited seating) combined with virtual webinars across multiple jurisdictions. We have also connected our clients with experts from various jurisdictions during our annual legal conference, The Legal 360, which saw speakers and panellists from countries such as Singapore, Portugal and Japan. We also continue to remain active on professional social media (i.e., LinkedIn) to ensure our clients and prospects are kept up-to-date on legal developments across various jurisdictions. Can you give us a practical example of how you have helped a client to add value to their business? Ensuring our clients get timely, practical, and commercially sound solutions to day-to-day issues that arise in our clients’ businesses, our dedicated team of lawyers are matched based on our clients’ needs. Notably, we advised Digi.com Berhad (“Digi”) in respect of its USD$ 3.8 billion merger with Celcom Axiata Berhad (“Celcom”), by way of acquisition of 100% of the shares in Celcom from Axiata Group Berhad (“Axiata”) and the issuance of shares in Digi to Axiata. Our work on this deal included advising on the structure of the transaction (opposite counsels from Norway, Hong Kong, Singapore, UK and Malaysia); seeking regulatory approval from Bursa Malaysia (the stock exchange) and Securities Commission of Malaysia; assisting and advising Digi to obtain its shareholders' approval via an extraordinary general meeting; seeking merger control approval from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the telecommunications regulator of Malaysia, and seeking regulatory approval under the licenses granted by MCMC, among others. This large, multi-faceted transaction saw many of our practice groups engaged, ranging from Corporate and M&A, to Competition, Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Data Protection, Corporate Governance and Capital Markets, to our Disputes team in strategizing and attending to an injunction brought by a minority shareholder. We were able to pull these teams together to deliver practical legal advice that took into account commercial needs, under tight timelines and across the demands of multiple stakeholders and jurisdictional requirements. Are clients looking for stability and strategic direction from their law firms - where do you see the firm in three years’ time? Definitely – Rapport and credibility stems from stability and strong governance, as well as a reliable strategic direction. Clients are more inclined to work with law firms that are stable and have a strong objective and direction, which in essence gives them the peace of mind of a safe and secure pair of hands to tackle their legal problems and handle their transactions and business ventures. As part of Rajah & Tann Asia (RTA), which turns 10 in 2024, our size, breadth of expertise, and track record, present clients with the stability they need to operate throughout ASEAN. Locally, having grown to one of the largest firms in Malaysia over the last decade, our direction and growth is aligned with that of RTA, and we remain focused in becoming our clients preferred firm locally and regionally. In 3 years’ time, we hope to see our Firm’s reputation and rankings across all practice areas achieve Tier 1 status, as we continue to deepen our practice depth, and grow with our clients and their needs.

Managing Partner, Heng Chhay, explains how the firm is adapting to clients’ changing needs   1) What do you see as the main points that differentiate R&T Sok & Heng Law Office from your competitors? As one of Cambodia’s most highly regarded full services law firms, R&T Sok & Heng Law Office has young, dynamic, and qualified teams of lawyers advising clients in a wide range of areas of practice across the corporate and commercial spectrum with particular knowledge and experiences in various important industry sectors. Our local team possesses in-depth knowledge of local laws and regulations as well as international standards and practices along with useful connections and experience working with relevant government authorities in relation to regulatory adoption and amendments which have paved the way for us to be market leaders in various practices including new areas of practice. Together with our regional Rajah & Tann Asia network, we have built a network of more than 1,000 legal professionals who are exceptionally talented, skillful, and highly motivated individuals to provide seamless legal services across the region with our current footprints in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam plus Brunei, Japan, and South Asia desks. Having such diverse local qualified lawyers with multiple languages proficiency, we are proud to call ourselves the region’s new ���home team’ of ‘Lawyers Who Know Asia’.   2) Which practices do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that? In the next 12 months, we foresee increasing activities in the areas of digital economy, competition, M&A, capital markets (IPOs, bonds issuance, and CIS), and energy and infrastructure projects, including project financing. We expect more inquiries on regulatory and compliance-related matters, particularly in the areas of competition and data protection as Cambodia expects to start implementing its recently adopted Competition Law and to adopt cybersecurity law, personal data protection law, and cybercrime law which are currently in the pipeline. We also expect an uptick in our current busy practices, such as M&A, capital markets, commercial litigation, and arbitration. The driver behind our forward-looking approach as outlined above is that slightly over 100 days ago, Cambodia held its general election whereby a new Government, comprising of young, promising, and dynamic cabinet members including the new Prime Minister himself, was formed and entrusted to take the country forward. With the launch of its Pentagonal Strategy – Phase 1, the Royal Government of Cambodia places a high priority on five pillars – people, road, water, electricity, and technology, and important reforms are underway. Furthermore, with more-than-ever emphasis on China’s foreign investment policy, particularly the Belt and Road Initiative and the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement, we are optimistic that there will be more foreign investments coming into Cambodia.   3) What's the main change you've made in the firm that will benefit clients? The world has recently faced a historical pandemic. Cambodia was fortunate to not suffer from a severe community spread of COVID-19 and the situation had well been under control through the accelerated vaccination program of the Government. With businesses trying to recover and adapt to the ‘new normal’, technology has now become more important than ever within both the private and public sectors. At R&T Sok & Heng Law Office together with our Rajah & Tann Asia network, we have managed to keep the impact under control and continued to service our clients with minimal interruptions. Our technology, which we put in place prior to COVID-19 as we have been preparing ourselves for the Industrial Revolution 4.0, has enabled us to help our clients overcome the challenges during this crisis. We have additionally adjusted the way in which our services are provided by introducing business partnering where possible and relevant, so as to provide meaningful services and assistance to our clients. We do so by providing various solutions and suggestions to business problems beyond the legal issues. Our regional resources, which span beyond just legal expertise to include technology, cybersecurity, regional business matching platforms, etc, provide extremely useful value to our clients.   4) Is technology changing the way you interact with your clients and the services you can provide them? Technology has always played a key role in how we service our clients and help them overcome their business challenges, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the ‘new normal’ of today’s business environment. With the technology platform and facilities our firm currently has in place, our clients know that they can rely on us with their business transactions whether they are cross-border or time-constraint on the timeline.   5) Can you give us a practical example of how you have helped a client to add value to their business? With our regional footprint in ASEAN countries, we are the firm of preference for international clients who also have a business footprint in the region. Clients trust and can rely on our seamless services with a high standard of quality across multiple jurisdictions. For instance, our clients in various industries ranging from digital payment, and money remittance to social media platforms and short-form video hosting services can come to any of our offices in Rajah & Tann Asia and use our service in all jurisdictions of our firm network without having to deal separately and individually with multiple law firms for multiple jurisdictions.   6) Are clients looking for stability and strategic direction from their law firms - where do you see the firm in three years’ time? Living in an increasingly VUCA [volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous] world, our clients do look to us for stability and strategic direction not only from the perspective of a traditional legal advisor but also as their trusted business partner. Being one of Cambodia’s highly regarded law firms, we see ourselves as the go-to firm for large-scale projects and complex cross-border transactions. Furthermore, with our regional presence as part of the Rajah & Tann Asia network, we will continue to be ahead of the curve in new areas of practices such as Data & Digital Economy, and ESG. As foreign investments continue to grow, and important legal reforms continue to take place in Cambodia, R&T Sok & Heng Law Office will remain a trusted business partner for our clients in Cambodia.
