1-2: President’s Messages
Dear Valued Clients and Partners,
Following the global financial crisis triggered by sub-prime mortgaged loan in the United States
of America, the world economy is still experiencing financial setback severely affecting prospects of
equitable and sustainable development. We see how vulnerable businesses can be, especially without
informed legal advice and consultations. The words “creditability, accountability, and reliability” are
among the key principles that long-term businesses and investments need to re-value. Big corporations,
banks, financial institutions and businesses start to invest in quality information and professional legal
consultation to minimize and mitigate potential risks and future losses.
The world is changing constantly and presently the investors worldwide are eyeing on Asia and
Africa for production bases, resources and markets. They build more cooperation and diplomatic
relations with developing countries such as Cambodia and other ASEAN members while facing with the
so-called weak rules of law and judicial systems. Such developing economy has great potentials in
providing both competitive production resources such as labor and natural resources and potential for
expanding the markets for their finished and semi-finished products. Sound, reliable, and informed legal
advice and defense are what existing and prospective investors resort to rely on.
Our key clients are from different business sectors and different parts of the world. They include
banking and financial institutions, Real Estates and Construction companies, Investment companies as
well as those from beverage and garment industries such as brewery, text-tile and footwear factories.
ACLF has a team of dynamic legal professionals with combined qualifications, experiences,
expertise and professional integrity who stand ready to help advising and protecting lawful interests of
the clients and investors in a number of practice areas. Our focus practice areas are Corporate and
Commercial Registrations, Banking and Financial Transactions, Real Estates and Construction,
Intellectual Property and Trademarks, Litigations, and Alternative Commercial and Labor Disputes
Resolution (ADR). We live here and know how successful businesses are operating. We have licensed
lawyers, legal advisors, and experienced legal and administrative assistants who have built and
