ASEAN BUSINESS LAW ONLINE

The ASEAN Economic Community

is bringing free movement of goods,

services, labour, investment, and

capital across the 10 states of the

ASEAN region with a combined

GDP of over $2.2 trillion and a

population of 620 million. Viewed

as a single economy, ASEAN is the

world’s seventh largest, and Asia’s

third largest. From 2007 to 2014 the

region’s GDP doubled.

Of the ten member States of ASEAN,

four publish their legislation in

English. Of the six jurisdictions

which issue their legislation in their

national languages, the doubtful

quality of English translation of much

of their legislation, if available at all

either from Government or private

sources, poses significant difficulties

for international lawyers and legal

researchers. Uncertainty and doubt

over the meaning of the translated

text is common.

The aim of Aseanlex is to help

to solve this problem for the

international legal community.

ASEAN Business Law Online

provides a searchable database

initially of the business laws of

Indonesia, Myanmar, and Cambodia,

and later of Thailand, Lao PDR, and

Vietnam, with the laws translated

into English to a first class and

reliable standard.

BUSINESS LAWS OF MYANMAR

BUSINESS LAWS OF CAMBODIA

Presented on a single, easily searchable online platform, with monthly updates including English translations of new legislation and updates to existing legislation, Aseanlex will be a valuable resource for researchers and for international lawyers undertaking transactions in the ASEAN region.
