About the seminar
Lawyers from key Asian jurisdictions will discuss the ‘Doing Business’
environment in their jurisdictions, covering for example, legal and regulatory
framework and requirements for foreign businesses, state or governmental
agencies or bodies to take note of, laws governing entry and establishment of
businesses, immigration requirements for businesses, any restriction as to
foreign ownership of businesses, ownership of landed property by foreigners,
ability of foreign lawyers to advise, practice or accompany their foreign clients
and any particular programs or initiatives by the government to encourage
foreign investments.
To this will be added further information from other Asian jurisdictions

conditions for foreign lawyers and a session on Asian-European business
relations.
