Dentons has opened an office in Myanmar after acquiring a seven-person local team led by partner Mark Livingston.

Livingston and his team of lawyers and staff join from his own firm, Livingstons Legal, based in the country’s capital of Yangon. They will work closely with Dentons Rodyk, the Singapore firm that joined Dentons in late 2015. Livingston focuses mainly on helping foreign companies manage and resolve regulatory and operational issues in Myanmar.
