SUMMARY:Fear of flying in Asia: a review of the FiFo environment in Asia 
 and a global update - should ‘local lawyers’ be afraid of temporary ‘for
 eign lawyers’?
DESCRIPTION:As lawyers we often ‘fly in and fly out’ (FiFo) of countries 
 without a care\, but are we breaching regulatory and/or immigration rule
 s\, or creating tax liabilities in doing so? In a post-Trump\, post-Brex
 it world\, the ability of lawyers to cross borders on a temporary basis 
 has become even less certain. The capacity of governments to negotiate\,
  let alone implement trade agreements that clarify the position of cross
 -border professional services providers\, has become increasingly limite
 d. Nonetheless\, the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA)\, as well as var
 ious other regional initiatives\, such as the Regional Comprehensive Eco
 nomic Partnership\, remain on the negotiating table and our session will
  include a contribution from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
  in Australia\, which is chairing the legal services chapter of the TiSA
  negotiations.\n\nSo the world is getting less and less FiFo-friendly\, 
 while in parallel\, lawyers are becoming even more international. Should
  the IBA publish some ‘good practice options’ for trade negotiators and 
 regulators to move this debate forward in a way that assists internation
 al practice while respecting local regulation and helping the local lega
 l environment to develop? How do we ensure the legal profession can be i
 nternational?
