Asia-Pacific
SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES WORLDWIDE RELY ON DORSEY TO HELP THEM MEET THEIR LEGAL AND BUSINESS CHALLENGES.

Overview

Our Asia-Pacific group collaborates across a broad platform of practices and international and U.S. offices to serve the needs of clients in the Asia-Pacific region. We provide 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.

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 Asia-based lawyers include natives of mainland China, the United States, Australia and Europe who are trained in the legal systems of those countries. We are admitted to full practice in Hong Kong and advise on international transactions in India and throughout the region. 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. We have a special counsel relationship with a PRC firm, as well as a network of relationships with other excellent local law firms, which enables us to look after the legal interests of our clients throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
