What strategy for law firms in Asia ?
While some firms are withdrawing, others are adapting and investing.
At LPA Law, our long-standing presence in Hong Kong, China, Japan and Singapore, now reinforced by the integration of APFL Partners in Vietnam, reflects a clear strategic conviction: Asia remains a key region for our growth and for supporting our clients’ ambitions.
In contrast to certain international firms that have scaled back operations in Asia amid recent geopolitical and public health disruptions, we have chosen a different path, marked by:
- The steady and continued presence of our teams throughout challenging times
- Stronger ties with local partners
- The development of synergies through cross-practice expertise
- Support for cross-border projects linking Europe, Asia and Africa
- Independent governance as a foundation for strategic freedom.
This long-term vision, rooted in agility and proximity, enables LPA Law, with its 50 multicultural, multilingual lawyers across six major Asian cities (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City), to combine in-depth local expertise with global perspective, guiding clients through a complex yet opportunity-rich environment.
Thank you to Juristes_associés for delving these important issues in its feature “Quelle stratégie pour les cabinets d’avocats en Asie ?”, published on 6 June, and to our partners Raphaël Chantelot, Lionel Vincent, Arnaud Bourrut-Lacouture and Antoine Logeay for sharing their insights.
