Straight answers
The questions we get asked first.
Can a foreign company own land in Laos?
No. Land in Laos is held by the national community and managed by the state. Foreign companies lease land use rights instead, commonly 30 years from a Lao citizen or up to 50 years from the government. Putting land in a Lao person's name on your behalf is not legal and gives you nothing you can enforce. We structure land rights the way the law actually allows.
What happens if a deal goes wrong?
Plan for it before you sign. Foreign investors rarely use the Lao courts, and a foreign arbitration award still has to be certified by a Lao court before it means anything here. So we build the dispute route into the contract at the drafting stage, and we settle most matters by negotiation or mediation before positions harden.
How long does licensing actually take?
Company registration in Vientiane has come down to roughly 15 days. Sector permits vary widely, and offices outside the capital can be slower. At the first meeting we give you the realistic timeline for your sector, not the best case.
What will this cost?
You get the scope and the fee in writing before any work starts. Clear scopes and fee arrangements are agreed before every engagement begins. We work on both project engagements and ongoing retainers.
Which languages do you work in?
All seven, across the team: English, Lao, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and French. We also provide specialist legal translation between them, including documents prepared for government filings. This website is published in all seven.
