Selvam & Partners has launched an office in Yangon, where it will serve clients on investment and business matters, including all aspects of tax, licensing, regulatory, market entry, reporting requirements and US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act issues.

Krishna Ramachandra, managing director of Selvam in Singapore, will serve as the managing partner of Selvam & Partners. He will be joined by Benjamin Kheng, an associate director of Selvam in Singapore. Selvam is an associated firm of Duane Morris.

“Our launch in Yangon, the country’s commercial center, is driven primarily by client interest, which has intensified significantly in recent years, as well as by the country’s projected long-term economic outlook,” Ramachandra said. “In addition, our team has built a strong relationship with Myanmar and its government, as a result of working closely with the Attorney General’s Office for many years.”
