Mekong Legal Partners
A Phnom Penh conveyancing and property law firm handling title due diligence, holding structures, and contracts for foreign buyers — independent of any developer or agency.
Why we'd point you here
- Acts only for the buyer — no developer or agency retainers that create a conflict.
- Genuine fluency in the four foreign-holding structures, including the 2019 Trust Law.
- Transparent fixed-fee conveyancing quoted up front.
Things to weigh
- Strongest on condo and Phnom Penh landed work; confirm capacity for rural land before instructing.
A good conveyancing lawyer is the single most important hire in a Cambodian purchase, and the one most buyers under-spend on. The job is not to rubber-stamp the seller’s paperwork — it is to independently verify the title, structure the holding correctly for a foreigner, and make sure the money only moves when the legal position is sound.
A firm like this should act for you alone. Be wary of any lawyer introduced by — and quietly paid by — the developer or agent: that is a conflict, not a convenience. Expect a fixed conveyancing fee quoted in writing, a clear scope covering title search and the holding structure, and plain answers about the risks of whatever structure your purchase requires.
