We provide versatile, practical and tailored tax and advisory services in language that you understand. These services include:

• Banking, Finance and Technology 
• Compliance and Investigations
• Corporate, Mergers and Acquisitions
• Employment and Labour
• Energy, Mining and Infrastructure
• Real Estate and Construction
• Restructuring and Insolvency
• Taxation and Accounting

Our consultants have represented leading international and Asian investors in Cambodia on a wide range of investments and opportunities. Some of our core strengths and areas of expertise include primary infrastructure, power, energy, natural resource and other projects, significant land and property developments along with multi-jurisdictional mergers and acquisitions.

BACKGROUND

DFDL first established its headquarters in Cambodia in 1995. DFDL is licensed as an investment company by the Council for the Development of Cambodia and the Cambodian Investment Board. We are also registered as a private limited company with the Ministry of Commerce. Under these licenses and registrations, we are permitted to provide business consulting, tax and investment advisory services of an international nature.

On 1 March 2016, DFDL and Sarin & Associates joined forces to forge closer commercial cooperation by forming a new business platform to serve clients with interests in Cambodia and across the expanding ASEAN marketplace.

DFDL and Sarin & Associates have worked together for over 10 years in Cambodia. Sarin & Associates has long been recognized for its clear, comprehensive and practical legal expertise, providing advice to companies in Cambodia across several sectors, such as telecommunications, energy, retail, real estate, financial services, banking and more.

As the Mekong Region and other emerging markets continue to thrive, DFDL is uniquely positioned to secure your access to promising international growth opportunities
