Global reach with local expertise. The Asia Pacific team consists of more than 120 lawyers who are all part of a global team of 330 lawyers with deep experience in local regulatory processes and laws affecting IT/C businesses. We stay ahead in established markets, with the establishment of our Joint Operation with FenXun Partners in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone (SFTZ) – the very first license to provide our clients with integrated international and PRC law advice. We also gain ground in emerging markets, with our continued client outreach program across our Southeast Asian offices in anticipation of an integrated trade and investment market brought about by the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

At the forefront of the rapid developments in the FinTech sector. With the establishment of our FinTech Focus Group, we are ideally placed to guide financial institutions and technology companies through the legal and commercial issues and opportunities brought about by the rapidly evolving FinTech sector. We take a multi-disciplinary and cross-jurisdictional approach by mobilizing specialists across our global network with deep expertise in areas such as IT/C, compliance, data protection, employment, financial regulatory, venture capital, cybersecurity, trade and tax. We are also actively engaged in the FinTech conversations in the region, contributed to government working groups, and signed up as one of the supporting organisations to the SuperCharger FinTech Accelerator in Hong Kong.
