What our lawyers do

What our lawyers do

Our ground-breaking deals put us at the heart of international business events as they unfold. 

Our commercial lawyers make many of the high-profile and influential deals in the world happen, whether it's building a stadium, funding a global bank, leasing a fleet of airliners, providing complex regulatory advice, or arranging a merger between multinational companies. 

Corporate law provides the code that governs how these deals take place. Often though, the corporate legal framework hasn't anticipated the types of transactions and ways of working that happen in our modern world. We help clients to understand how this legal code affects them, and, more importantly, the best ways of working within it. 

It's interesting and challenging work. Each country has its own laws and set of regulations. What's easy in one place can be difficult in another, and impossible in a third. Our remit as lawyers extends beyond individual jurisdictions, across Asia Pacific and globally. We need to understand all the dynamics and find the best possible solutions for our clients. We blend legal expertise and business focus with a truly international outlook.
