Zuber & Taillieu

International Law

Asia & Oceania

Zuber & Taillieu’s attorneys have assisted in matters involving Australia, Bangladesh, China, French Polynesia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Our work has been in support of investments in Asia and of the activities of Asian clients in the United States and elsewhere outside of Asia.

We regularly advise clients from the Asia-Pacific region in United States M&A; joint venture and corporate finance transactions; real estate investments; labor and employment law; intellectual property protection; litigation and other disputes; tax planning; and other matters.

We also actively represent United States and other clients doing business in Asia. Our attorneys have on-the-ground experience in Japan, Korea, China and Southeast Asia, including, in some cases, years of practice resident in Asia, and we have exceptionally active relationships with law firms and other service providers in Asia.  We are experienced in the cultural aspects of doing business in Asia, and can be an effective resource for a United States or European company seeking to develop or expand relationships in the Asia-Pacific region.

By integrating high levels of expertise, extensive experience in varying practice areas, and above all, a commitment to exceptional work quality, Zuber & Taillieu is well-positioned to aid your company in navigating the increasingly complicated laws relating to Asian and Oceanic matters of United States clients, and United States matters of Asian and Oceanic clients.
