Attorneys in Laos
 
(Revised March 2012)

There are a limited number of independent lawyers in Laos. A lawyer seeking to represent a foreign citizen in a criminal matter may need to obtain prior permission from the Ministry of Justice.

The U.S. Embassy in Vientiane, Laos assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the following persons or firms. Inclusion on this list is in no way an endorsement by the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. The information in the list on professional credentials, areas of expertise and language ability are provided directly by the lawyers; the Embassy is not in a position to vouch for such information. You may receive additional information about the individuals on the list by contacting the local bar association or the local licensing authorities.

Please refer to the Department of State website for more information on retaining a foreign attorney.
