Asia

Cutting across a wide range of practice areas, Winston & Strawn helps international clients navigate the changing business and regulatory landscape in pursuing opportunities across Asia and assists private and public Asia-based clients conducting outbound business activities. Our attorneys have broad experience in the structuring and execution of cross-border mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments, capital markets transactions, and general corporate matters. We also have market-leading capabilities in arbitration, mediation, litigation as well as regulatory compliance, internal investigations, and enforcement defense.

Our Asia practice combines Winston’s global reach and capabilities, with our strategic alliance with Yuanda, one of China’s leading local law firms. With attorneys based in Hong Kong and Shanghai, our team brings together a wealth of experience in the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the PRC), Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and other jurisdictions across Asia.

We also draw upon a network of “best-of-breed” local counsel in Japan and all other major economic and dispute-resolution centers across the Asia-Pacific region with whom we work closely together to achieve the optimal result for our clients. Our attorneys stay abreast of the fast-changing legal and regulatory environment across the region, particularly in Greater China, and are adept at translating the local laws and regulations to actionable advice for international companies.
