Freshfields in Asia-Pacific
You will find us at the heart of Asia’s most complex deals and cutting-edge regulatory matters.
From helping on the first strategic foreign investment in Vietnam to setting up the Tokyo AIM market, from engineering a complex public takeover in Hong Kong to restructuring China’s telecoms industry, and from aiding pioneering investments in Myanmar to leading the largest IPO in southeast Asia, we are often involved in the region's most important and ground-breaking transactions.
We help our clients liaise with global antitrust and regulatory authorities, create innovative financing and banking structures, and navigate cross-border international arbitration, litigation and employment issues across the region.
