Myanmar Legal Eminence

Myanmar Legal Eminence was founded in early 2015 by three Myanmar lawyers. The lawyers have worked with both pre-eminent law firms and local banks and have as such extensive experience in servicing foreign companies, agencies and individuals who have been keen to explore and invest in the Myanmar market as it opened up since 2011. The partners bring to the table not only knowledge of prevailing rules and regulations in Myanmar but also on the ground experience on how to successfully conduct business in Myanmar. There are of course unique challenges to doing business in this rapidly changing country. Since the country has started its democratization process in 2011, many outdated laws, rules and regulations have being amended or repealed. New laws such as Myanmar Companies Law and Myanmar Investment Law 2017 have been adopted to facilitate business development and the related notifications are continuously being updated. Note that many laws are also not strictly applied and it is thus essential to receive proper advice as to the actual practicalities of doing business in Myanmar. From August 2018, the Firm has re-energize its capacity with the group of preeminence lawyers.

Lincoln Legal Services Myanmar Limited

Myanmar is in the global spotlight for being one of the last frontier markets with the potential of becoming an economic leader in the region over the next years. The country has distinguished itself with significant achievements building up a democratic society and allowing entrepreneurship to flourish. Myanmar’s transition has met with what many consider to be the ultimate seal of approval: On 7th October 2016, the US lifted its long-standing sanctions against the country. It is an exciting time to be here. Lincoln Myanmar started as a law firm on 1st April 2016, but the people behind it have operated in the country for much longer. The firm’s founder Sebastian Pawlita has been in Myanmar for four years, being partner at two law firms prior to setting up his own. He is a ranked lawyer in Chambers and Partners Asia Pacific in 2016 and 2017 and brings his business case to the new outfit. Nyein Chan Zaw, the firm’s co-founder, ran his parent’s various businesses before deciding that he wanted to do something else. We operate on the same principles that have proven to be successful during the last four years: Result-oriented work, high dependability, fast response time, low prices. We offer first-class legal and tax services to multinationals and large local companies involved in a broad range of transactions. A big part of our client base is composed of foreign law firms without an office in Myanmar that entrust us with their Myanmar-related work. Our practice areas are: Corporate (foreign direct investment and M&A) Banking; project finance Oil and gas; mining; electricity; infrastructure Telecommunications, media and technology Real estate; hospitality and tourism Litigation; dispute resolution; debt collection Transport and logistics Tax, payroll and accounting
