Fueled by significant growth and direct foreign investment, the Asian economy has grown into one of the largest in the world. As regulators tighten the reins on foreign exchange and investment policies are reconsidered, it has become increasingly important for Asian companies to bring in experienced counsel to ensure new regulations don’t endanger their products, investments and deals. McGuireWoods offers unrivalled experience building effective strategies to conduct clients’ business in and out of Asia.
