About

Provided by Dechert LLP

Doing business successfully in Asia Pacific requires commitment, local knowledge and adaptability. Faced with complex regulations and business practices, incoming investors appreciate counsel that combines robust representation with respect for local sensitivities. Asian corporations, in turn, often require a law firm with sophisticated commercial judgment and cross-border capabilities when establishing or expanding a footprint outside the region.


A Multicultural, Multilingual Team — On the Ground

Dechert helps global corporations, financial institutions and private investors meet their legal and regulatory needs. Our team includes eminent legal figures, who facilitate clients’ expansion by maintaining a network of relationships with regulatory authorities throughout Asia, including China, Singapore and South Korea.


Meeting Client Needs Wherever They Do Business

Dechert’s commitment to Asia Pacific reaches far beyond our office network. We provide results-oriented legal and business solutions to corporations and funds investing throughout the region. We also assist entities from across the Asia Pacific when planning or executing a regional or global investment. Moreover, by working closely with colleagues in Dechert offices throughout the world, our Asia Pacific lawyers help clients fulfill their strategic objectives in Asia and beyond.
