Attorneys in the Sonnenschein Asia Pacific Practice have vast experience and expertise in cross border matters ranging from some of the largest and most complex corporate transactions in the world to high stake litigation and trade disputes.
Our attorneys understand the intricacies of the business climate in Asia and are able to draft, negotiate and close deals in different Asian languages. Many of the lawyers in our practice have lived and practiced law in Asian countries. We regularly counsel clients in both inbound and outbound business dealings in China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, India and other parts of the Asia Pacific region.
We regularly counsel major Asia companies in corporate mergers and acquisitions, securities offerings, real estate acquisitions and financing, tax planning, intellectual property management and prosecution, international trade proceedings before U.S. agencies, arbitration and litigation in state and federal courts. The attorneys in our Asia Pacific Practice also represent clients who are based in the United States, Europe and other parts of the world in connection with their investments, outsourcing arrangements and other business activities throughout Asia.
