Global Foreign Direct Investment & Market Entry

Cambodia maintains an open foreign-investment regime under the Law on Investment 2021. We advise foreign investors—particularly from China and the broader region—on market-entry strategy, choice of vehicle, investment protection, and the practical steps required to establish and operate a business. Our counsel covers the interaction between the Law on Investment, the Law on Commercial Enterprises, sectoral licensing regimes, and any applicable bilateral investment treaties. We help investors move from initial interest to operational presence efficiently and compliantly, including coordination with the CDC’s one-stop service mechanism.


Overview

Cambodia’s investment framework offers international businesses a commercially attractive route into a fast-developing market, but successful entry requires the investment vehicle, licensing strategy and operational plan to work together from the outset.

MLV provides coordinated Cambodian legal advice from initial feasibility and structuring through establishment, regulatory approvals and ongoing compliance, with particular experience supporting investors from China and the broader region.
