With Asia-Pacific nations assuming the burdensome role of saviour of the global economy, corporate counsel in the region have been given the unenviable task of combining caution with innovation in their pursuit of growth opportunities.
The Summit (*CPD/CLE Pending)
|
In line with this theme, the 2010 Asia-Pacific In-house Counsel Summit will tackle a range of issues pertinent to the daily lives of corporate counsel in the region. These include:
|
- Financing opportunities in a difficult credit environment – such as sukuk issuance
- Private equity and corruption risks
- Prospect of class actions and the proliferation of shareholder disputes
- Hong Kong’s need for a pre-insolvency regime for distressed companies/ how China’s new bankruptcy law is being implemented
- Employment law issues relating to reorganisations, lay-offs and business closures
- How robustly China’s competition law is being enforced/ the potential threat of private anti-monopoly litigation action?
- Renewed M&As – new types of target due diligence, such as reputational due diligence/ adopting an audit-type approach to due diligence
- How to assess the value of a target’s IP and ensure it actually owns the IP
- Conducting board level assessments and director assessments – managing and testing for competence
