A point of distinction for Dentons Rodyk as a foreign desk in Myanmar is its skill in providing regulatory advice, navigating the intersection between local employment regulations and international human rights law. The group’s client roster runs the gamut of sectors, including technology, real estate, and manufacturing, among others. Overseeing the group is Singapore-based Ling Yi Quek, whose corporate government expertise benefits the group’s ability to assist with sanctions and implications on companies and corporations, as well being adept at handling restructuring and liquidation, both of which are areas of increased activity for the group at large. Josephine Koh is well-versed in cross-border transactions and foreign investment into Myanmar.
