Since the historic political transition of a civilian government in 2010, Myanmar has experienced tremendous growth in terms of significant economic and regulatory reforms across a wide range of sectors. This turn of the tide also gave a new lease of life to the country’s economy by creating and encouraging a favorable business environment for both local and foreign investments across various sectors. The gradual rise in foreign investments as well as instances of international firms creating their base in Myanmar helped the Legal market in the country grow massively over the years while helping businesses navigate the complex regulatory landscape in Myanmar.
