COVER STORY: FIRMS TO WATCH

In its annual list of Asia’s up-and-coming law firms, ALB spotlights 10 firms with 10 partners or less that are making waves, winning clients and generally punching above their weight.

FEATURE: CAPITAL MARKETS

After a sluggish 2016, Southeast Asian markets are preparing for a better 2017 in terms of IPOs, with Indonesia expecting to see 30 companies list, and Singapore hoping for a bounce back. As Hong Kong fights to retain its global crown, we look at what’s in the pipeline and how lawyers are preparing.

FEATURE: OFFSHORE

Offshore jurisdictions today are becoming increasingly popular with Islamic finance institutions. And in the same way, OFCs are adapting their structures and expertise towards Shariah-compliant transactions. We talk to lawyers to find out more.

REPORT: INDONESIA

Indonesia’s dreams of infrastructure depend heavily on outside finance, with Japan being one of the biggest players. We look at the state of the key projects and the challenges that Japanese investors face.

REPORT: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

With the TPP’s chances looking increasingly fragile, APAC countries might turn to the RCEP for cooperation, and this is said to have a significant impact on intellectual property. We talk to lawyers for details.

LEGAL TECH: DATA SECURITY

What are some of the issues that companies face in storing and moving data especially when doing M&As? And what kinds of software are out there to assist them?

FEATURE: CONSTRUCTION

Construction disputes are lengthy and costly battles in Asia, with failure to properly administer contracts, errors and omissions in contracts, and poorly drafted claims being the main causes. We talk to lawyers about the recent trends in managing contracts and avoidance and resolution of disputes.
