COVER STORY: DEALMAKERS OF ASIA

We spotlight some of the big deals in the year gone by, and doff our hat to some of Asia’s key dealmakers across the various markets that ALB covers.  To be profiled in this cover story, please email amantha.chia@thomsonreuters.com.

SPECIAL FEATURE: GC INSIGHTS

With 2018 almost upon us, we ask a cross-section of high-profile general counsel across Asia’s most well-known companies about what the next year holds for them, as well as what their strategy when it comes to running their legal departments, adapting to industry trends and managing their legal spend.

REPORT: JAPAN

Despite Japan’s quality economic and legislative arbitral infrastructure, Tokyo has been an under-utilised seat in Asia, especially compared to Hong Kong and Singapore, and the rapid growth of fellow civil law jurisdiction – and neighbor – Seoul. We look at why it has lagged behind its Asian peers and whether Tokyo could be a competitive venue in the region.

FEATURE: THE YEAR IN LEGAL TECH

As 2017 comes to a close, we look at what has surely been a watershed year for the growth of legal technology in Asia. We speak to lawyers as to how their work has changed, and which technologies are gaining the most popularity.

FEATURE: TAX

India rolled out its the goods and services tax (GST) on July 1. One of the boldest efforts of a complex tax reform, GST seeks to economically unify India. We speak to lawyers about the impact it has had so far, and what the next few months hold for GST.

COVERAGE: PHILIPPINES AND INDONESIA LAW AWARDS

We have full coverage of both the ALB Philippines Law Awards 2017, and the ALB Indonesia Law Awards 2017, including the list of winners, and photos from these events.
