We take the time to learn about our clients and we will listen to your needs, appreciate your specific circumstances and will achieve your desired outcomes at a reasonable cost and on time. We draft, review, and negotiate all types of legal agreements and trading arrangements, whilst always keeping our clients’ best interests at heart.

Our experienced team of legal specialists can work with you on the drafting, review and negotiation of a wide range of legal agreements. These can either be agreements that you need to run your business such as for your shareholders, employees or clients, or agreements that you receive in the usual course of your business such as from your suppliers or distributors.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the contracts and agreements we can assist our clients with:

• Shareholders’ agreements
• Employment agreements
• Contractor / freelance agreements
• Stock options / virtual stock options
• Confidentiality, non-disclosure and exclusivity agreements
• Business to business collaborations including joint ventures and research and development agreements
• Agency, distribution and franchise agreements
• Terms and conditions of sale and purchase of goods and/or services
• Sale and purchase agreements
• Leasing or hire purchase agreements
• Outsourcing and franchising agreements
• Information technology and e-commerce related agreements
• Intellectual property licences and assignment agreements
• Marketing and sponsorship agreements

For transactional work that requires the issuance of a legal opinion, FocusCore has developed close relationships with a number of law firms throughout Asia-Pacific and, in some cases, has negotiated preferential rates with them that can be passed on to our clients. In addition, FocusCore can project manage external law firms on single or multi-jurisdictional matters to progress transactions expediently and on-budget.

All contracts and agreements supplied by FocusCore will be prepared by a qualified lawyer, will be commercially sound and will conform to the applicable laws. However, TGM Co., Ltd. a FocusCore Group company, is not a law firm, nor is it licensed to practice law.

Nothing on this site shall be considered legal advice and no attorney-client relationship is established.

Trademark registration in Myanmar is less developed that in much of the rest of Asia, however FocusCore has experts available to guide you through the registration processes for your business.

Trademark registration takes about one month to process in Myanmar. It is necessary to provide a specimen of your trademark with a detailed description of the related goods or services associated with the trademark. Required documentation includes a Power of Attorney and a Declaration of Ownership of Trademark, both of which must be notarized. The final stage will be to display a Cautionary Notice in a local English language newspaper which will detail the particulars of the trademark, such as the name of owner, and provides a warning against trademark infringement and counterfeiting.

The validity period of trademark registration is not prescribed by existing Myanmar laws, however we advise renewal every three years and FocusCore can assist with that.
