SCM Legal

Happy International Womens Day from the team at SCM! We have a great team of lady lawyers (and the odd gent!) working with our clients to develop a more prosperous Myanmar with opportunities for all. It’s a long walk but we’re doing it in style.

This morning at Invest Myanmar Summit 2019 we heard Directorate of Investment and Company Administration head U Aung Naing Oo, who has done more than anyone to implement investment reform and make investment happen, discuss the transformations that the Investment Rules and Companies Law (both drafted by partner Chris Hughes and the SCM legal team) have made to business and regulatory practice. 10,000 new and 40,000 existing company re-registrations achieved online in 6 months. Amazing.
