Continuing its "backdoor strategy" to expansion in Southeast Asia, Duane Morris, through its joint venture with Singapore-based Selvam LLC, has opened an office in Yangon, Myanmar, the first U.S.-based law firm to do so.
According to a firm press release, the firm will serve international and domestic clients through two "closely integrated entities," Duane Morris & Selvam (Myanmar) and Selvam & Partners. The focus will be on investment and business matters, including tax, licensing, regulatory and market entry issues, as well as reporting requirements and U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and U.K. Bribery Act issues.
