This is the first edition (2020) of a project that the Forum intends to update every two years. The Forum is grateful for the contributions from all participant firms, which made a tremendous effort not only to cover the legal aspects, but also to work together in the best interest of the legal community in the Asia Pacific region.

This guide is an important tool for both investors and the legal profession when approaching certain critical aspects in Asia Pacific jurisdictions.
