Foreign lawyers who don’t register with the Bar Association of the Kingdom of Cambodia (BAKC) are trampling the rights of local lawyers, the body’s president said in a statement on Friday.

The Bar Association has accused foreign lawyers of operating illegally for over a decade, even pursuing unsuccessful lawsuits against firms like DFDL, and on Friday it accused foreign lawyers who have not joined the bar of undermining the profession locally.
