Who are we

DFDL Mekong received an honorable mention for its role as Laos counsel to Lenders and Laos Counsel to Sponsors in the USD650 Million Theun Hinboun hydropower expansion project in Laos, which closed in late 2008.

DFDL Mekong was established in the Mekong region in 1994 and operates in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam. It also operates in Myanmar through an affiliated office, Myanmar Thanlwin Legal Services, Ltd.

The nine offices in our regional network provide integrated services to foreign and local companies and international institutions. With a team of over 30 foreign lawyers and advisers working closely with more than 40 Laotian, Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese and Cambodian lawyers, advisers and legal assistants, we provide personalized and cost-effective legal, tax and consulting services to our clients.

The partners at DFDL Mekong recognize that, while substantial investment is moving into the Mekong region, other law firms are still attempting to service their clients from major business centers outside these countries, such as Hong Kong and Singapore. DFDL Mekong believes legal services of the highest quality cannot be provided on a “fly-in” basis and therefore provides services of an international standard through local and foreign legal experts committed to the Mekong region.
