Some Japanese companies are operating the business in Laos taking advantage of its location next to Thailand. Lots of benefits are expected to Laos thanks to Laos-China railways which opened in 2021. In addition, Japan and Laos has a long and good relationship illustrated by the support by the Japanese government of legislation of the Lao Civil Code.

Furthermore, we, with the assistance of reputable local firms, are supporting Japanese related transactions in Laos in a wide variety of areas including joint ventures, M&A transactions, finance, compliance, competition and anti-trust, internal misconduct, labor issue, dispute resolution and intellectual property.
