Bou Nou Ouk & Partners was founded in 2003 by four lawyers. The founders of BNO recognized that while substantial investment was moving into Cambodia, law firms were still attempting to service their clients from major business centers outside these countries such as Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taiwan, Singapore and Bangkok. BNO has established a full service presence of local and foreign legal experts in Cambodia. BNO is registered with the Bar Association of the Kingdom of Cambodia as a Local law firm. A.

BNO provides a full range of commercial and corporate legal services and litigation to foreign and local investors operating in Cambodia. The firm provides local legal expertise for every phase of an investment - from initial contacts, licensing, negotiations with the government and joint venture partners, land purchasing, leasing, and financing, to operational issues such as labor, taxation, corporate governance and other contractual matters. BNO’s clients include many of the major investors in Cambodia. While there are other firms in the region that may handle the initial stages of the investment process, there are few who have the practical local experience and the in-country presence to advise at every stage of a client'sbusiness. Not only are we well equipped to handle the "upstream" licensing and negotiation stages of theinvestment process, but also the "downstream" legal issues that arise on a day to day basis. |
