Combining the skills and experience of the lawyers based in our offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and London, the group provides general corporate and dispute-resolution services to American and European clients operating in Asia, and to Asian clients throughout the world. Areas of special emphasis include the structuring of foreign investments, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, technology transfer, corporate restructuring and distressed-asset transactions throughout the region, notably in Greater China, South Korea, Japan and India.
The Asian economic environment is undoubtedly the most dynamic in the world. However, doing business in the region involves extraordinary complexities and uncertainties for most foreign companies. Our lawyers bring decades of international experience, as well as the requisite cultural and linguistic skills, to bear in creating legal and business solutions that work for small and medium-sized clients as well as large multinationals.
Our India capital markets practitioners were among the first international lawyers to recognise the opportunities and possibilities afforded by the India capital markets boom and Dorsey has become a key player in the Indian market, working with major investment banks and Indian companies on a range of international securities issues (PDF). We offer our clients in India access to a range of venture capitalists and business contacts as well as commercially focused advice on transactions involving the Indian sub continent and the UK.
Our Asia-based lawyers include natives of both mainland China and Japan who are trained in the legal systems of those countries. We are admitted to full practice in both Hong Kong and Japan and advise on international transactions in India. Although we are not admitted to practice before the courts in mainland China, we are licensed as foreign lawyers and permitted to provide a wide range of legal services there. A network of relationships with the best local law firms enables us to look after the legal interests of our clients throughout the Asia-Pacific Region.
