1.Law Firm background    

          The Legal Code was founded in 2019 with the Practice Law Office Registration Certificate number 031/គម-កវ/19, dated 11 February 2019, of the Bar Association of the Kingdom of Cambodia, in the form of a law office and was officially launched on 06 March 2019 based in Phnom Penh capital.
