About

Provided by Bun & Associates

Bun & Associates is Cambodia’s leading corporate and business advisory law firm.

For over 18 years, we have been at the centre of the deals, policies and legislation that have transformed Cambodia.

The economy has grown steadily, as the government pursues a liberal economic policy agenda to attract foreign and local investment and expand international trade. While significant progress has been made, Cambodia remains an emerging market. Navigating this fast-changing commercial, political and regulatory environment is challenging, and demands counsel of senior, experienced lawyers.

Bun & Associates combines two worlds: a deep pride in our Khmer heritage and an international outlook. Our teams of legal and tax specialists are multilingual and have trained with leading firms in Asia, Europe and North America. Qualified in civil and common law jurisdictions, they are leaders in their fields. Their advice combines global perspectives with an understanding of local markets.

We regularly work alongside the elite international firms on multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes. This ensures we are up-to-date with the latest legal and policy trends in other countries.
