Asian Desk

Connecting markets and opportunities between Asia and the world for over three decades.

Thanks to our well-established presence in Shanghai since 2007, and our specialized multidisciplinary team of lawyers, we offer comprehensive legal solutions that transcend borders and cultures.

Our Asian Desk incorporates the experience of expert lawyers from different practice areas, combining an in-depth technical knowledge with a unique understanding of the business culture of the main Asian markets, including China, India, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

We advise Asian investors in Spain, Portugal, Latin America and Africa on structuring complex transactions, while guiding Western companies through their expansion in Asia. Our network of alliances with leading local law firms in the region ensures a seamless advisory service that maximizes our clients’ business opportunities.

The combination of our international experience, local knowledge and multidisciplinary approach enables us to offer innovative and efficient solutions in crossborder transactions, joint ventures, strategic alliances and restructuring transactions. We particularly stand out in key sectors, including energy, infrastructure, technology, industry, automotive, retail, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology.
