Tilleke & Gibbins has contributed to the 2019 edition of the Franchising Global Guide , a Practical Law Company publication that provides an overview of franchising around the world. The Myanmar chapter of the guide was written by Yuwadee Thean-ngarm, director of Tilleke & Gibbins’ Yangon office, and Sher Hann Chua, a consultant in the firm’s Bangkok and Yangon offices.
