Myanmar legal data from official sources, structured for AI and legaltech.
Myanmar laws, regulations, and court decisions live across the Myanmar Gazette, the Union Attorney General's Office law databases, government ministries, regulators, and the courts. Lawstronaut structures legal data from official sources into one format used across more than 150 jurisdictions — with every record linked to its official source. Structured Myanmar coverage is not yet live; Team and Enterprise customers can request priority onboarding of the sources below.

Which Myanmar law governs the incorporation and administration of companies?
The Myanmar Companies Law 2017 (Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Law No. 29/2017), enacted on 6 December 2017 and brought into force on 1 August 2018, replaced the Myanmar Companies Act 1914 and governs the incorporation, registration, and administration of companies, which is overseen by the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA).

Myanmar legal source types we structure
Myanmar legal coverage will include primary legislation, secondary legislation, regulatory materials, court decisions, guidance, enforcement documents, and legislative history where available.
Legislation & Regulations
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw laws, rules, regulations, notifications, orders, and directives — alongside the colonial-era Acts and codes (such as the Penal Code and the Contract Act) still in force — taken directly from the Myanmar Gazette and official publications.
Legislative History
Bills and parliamentary materials from the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Union Assembly) — the Pyithu Hluttaw and the Amyotha Hluttaw — where available, version by version, each tied to its source.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Directives, notifications, circulars, decisions, and enforcement materials from Myanmar regulators such as the Central Bank of Myanmar, DICA, the Myanmar Investment Commission, and the Internal Revenue Department.
Case Law
Court and tribunal decisions from official and authoritative Myanmar sources, including the Supreme Court of the Union and the Constitutional Tribunal of the Union, where available.
One Myanmar legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Myanmar laws, regulations, court decisions, regulatory guidance, and enforcement materials through a REST API. Use structured metadata, full text, Markdown, source links, and version history to power legaltech products, compliance workflows, and internal research tools. Myanmar coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=MM&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Myanmar legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Myanmar materials — deployable in minutes, with no integration work, once coverage is live.
AI Agent Integration
Give your legal AI agent same-turn provenance: it retrieves current Myanmar legal materials — official source links, metadata, and full text — before generating an answer, with a citation and timestamp on every response.
Build with Lawstronaut
Build Myanmar legal search, monitoring, compliance, research, and legal AI features without crawling, parsing, normalizing, and updating official sources yourself. We handle source discovery, ingestion, normalization, versioning, and change detection; you build the product.

Why Lawstronaut for Myanmar legal research
Myanmar legal information is spread across the Myanmar Gazette, ministries, statutory agencies, regulators, courts, and publication sources — much of it in Burmese, with older statutes surviving only in English-language editions. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Myanmar legal coverage
Myanmar is a common-law jurisdiction whose framework was inherited from British colonial rule and layered over a body of nineteenth- and twentieth-century codes — including the Penal Code, the Contract Act, the Civil and Criminal Procedure Codes, and the Evidence Act — that remain in force alongside modern statutes. Primary legislation is enacted by the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Union Assembly) and published in the Myanmar Gazette, while the Union Attorney General's Office maintains official law databases. Regulatory authority is spread across bodies such as the Central Bank of Myanmar, the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA), the Myanmar Investment Commission, and the Internal Revenue Department, with the Supreme Court of the Union at the apex of the court system alongside the Constitutional Tribunal of the Union. Legal materials are published primarily in Burmese, with many older statutes available in English.
Myanmar law has changed rapidly in recent years: the Myanmar Companies Law 2017 replaced the century-old Companies Act 1914, the Myanmar Investment Law 2016 consolidated the foreign and domestic investment regimes, and since February 2021 a large volume of new laws, amendments, and orders has been issued as governing authority passed to the State Administration Council — so citations to superseded provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Myanmar legal research answer correct today.
