Asia-Pacific Trusts Law vol.2 with Cambodia chapter available online

Matthew Rendall – Managing Partner of SOK SIPHANA & ASSOCIATES, and Soromnear Sin (Senior Associate) had the immense honor to be two of the key contributors to the Asia-Pacific Trusts Law, Volume 2 book (APTL Vol 2). 

In APTL Vol 2, our two authors presented their perspectives and research on the Application of Cambodia’s New Trust Law from a Practitioner’s View. 

Matthew and Soromnear’s research efforts were supported by Eszter Papp (Senior Foreign Counsel), Seyha Hab (Senior Associate), and Linna Seangly (Associate). 

About Asia-Pacific Trusts Law, volume 2: 

Leading legal scholars and practitioners from the Asia-Pacific region are gathered in this book to examine the ways that Trust law has been altered by different jurisdictions and to analyze their causes and effects. The contributions talk about how the trust system, which is naturally adaptable, has been modified to satisfy a variety of local needs, such as social, religious, economic, commercial, or even historical needs. However, these requirements and the way trusts law has been modified to satisfy them are typically not specific to a single jurisdiction; rather, they frequently (accidentally or otherwise) share a great deal in common with others. 

The two anthology editors of APTL Vol 2 are Ying Khai Liew and Ying-Chieh Wu.
