Managing and protecting intellectual property has become increasingly complex for global companies, which often have large IP portfolios and operations in multiple jurisdictions with varied IP laws and levels of enforcement. This is particularly true in emerging jurisdictions like Myanmar.
Our lawyers approach IP and technology management as a strategic issue. By combining on-the-ground knowledge with expertise across Asia Pacific and globally, we are able to serve as a one-stop shop for protecting the IP and technology assets of companies doing business in Myanmar.
Our team in Myanmar advises on a very broad range of areas, including:
- IP Management
- IP Enforcement
- IP Transactions
- Trade Secrets
- Info Technology Regulatory
- Data Protection & Cybersecurity
- Telecommunication - Competition & Regulatory
- Digital Media - Procurement & Regulatory
We look for people to join our Yangon office who enjoy a challenge, share our global perspective and take a practical approach to helping clients. We invest in our lawyers through secondments and continuing education programs in Myanmar and abroad.
