Laos: Temporary Suspension of Business Licenses in Certain Industries
By: Dino Santaniello, Tilleke & Gibbins law firm, via Lexology.com, February 14, 2018
Laos has attracted substantial foreign investment in recent years, which has contributed to a surge in the establishment of legal entities, both local and foreign.
