South Asia
/Overview
The South Asian region includes countries with some of the fastest growing economies in the world. The significant growth of the Indian economy in the past decade alone has brought a new dimension to the region and holds promise for other countries in South Asia.
Our team includes lawyers who understand the region, culture, language, and needs of both our South Asian clients and our US clients with interests in South Asia.
To ensure we’re delivering actionable market insights to our US-based clients, we maintain close working relationships with law firms and businesses in India, Singapore, and other South Asian countries.
For our South Asian clients doing business in the US, we advise them on a range of issues, from corporate transactions to regulatory issues to commercial disputes. Our objective is to ensure they achieve their objective in the US.
