Directory of Regulatory Lawyers in K&L Gates Asia Pacific Offices
INTRODUCTION
Regulations governing commercial transactions and operations in Asia Pacific are
developing at a rapid pace. Most will usually require some form of official approval,
potentially involving local and/or national government agencies. Authorizations,
approvals, certifications, licences, reporting requirements and a myriad of
regulatory obligations and restrictions have become a daily burden for companies.
K&L Gates’ Asia Pacific Regulatory group combines the
knowledge, skills, languages and resources of our firm’s Asia
Pacific offices in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea,
Singapore, Taiwan and our India practice. Having grown
up with the markets, our lawyers have local knowledge of
business customs, language and networks. Our established
team of regulatory lawyers represents clients that need to
comply with the ever-increasing number of government policies
and regulations. Not only do we help clients navigate these
systems, but we have developed strong working relationships
with central and local government authorities across the
region, enabling us to bring their attention to operating facts
and circumstances which are also taken into account as new
regulations are developed.
Of course, we also understand that businesses may be
adversely impacted by a wide spectrum of regulatory
enforcement actions, including investigations into alleged
breaches of the law, which may attract civil or criminal
penalties, disqualification, reputational damage and personal
liability for directors and other officers. In the face of these
increased risks, it is essential that legal advice
and representation is obtained at the earliest opportunity.
Our services include early advice on the best response strategy
available, including whether an application should be made for
any available immunity from criminal prosecution and/or civil
penalty proceedings. With the increasing use by regulators of
their compulsory powers to obtain information, ensuring the
advice you receive is protected by legal professional privilege
has never been more important.
This directory of our Asia Pacific regulatory capabilities
provides a concise overview of K&L Gates’ regulatory lawyers
located across the Asia Pacific region. The directory is
structured by jurisdiction, and provides essential information
on key areas of our regulatory practice along with details of key
lawyers in each office. The objective of the directory is to assist
clients looking for a specific capability and to facilitate efficient
contact between those clients and the appropriate member(s)
of our Asia Pacific Regulatory group.
K&L Gates’ Asia Pacific Regulatory group combines the
knowledge, skills, languages and resources of our firm’s
Asia Pacific offices.

K&L Gates’ Seoul office offers an unparalleled understanding of the language, business culture and domestic legal system in the
Republic of Korea, leveraging extensive experience to assist clients on their legal challenges in many areas of regulatory law. Our Seoul
team identifies issues and provides clients with invaluable guidance to navigate the complexities of the Korean regulatory regime.
The current stage of the Korean legal market restricts Korean offices of international law firms from providing definitive legal
opinions on Korean law. As such, our lawyers work closely with local Korean law firms, where needed, to provide legal opinions and
facilitate an expeditious resolution of the issues affecting our clients’ business needs in Korea.
