FDI restrictions: Policy implementation makes the difference

Natalie — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:35:57 +0000

The Inter-Pacific Bar Association discussion on ��Evolvement of FDI national security review regimes in a segmented world�� featured panel members from Germany, Russia, Vietnam, Italy and Indonesia.

The speakers discussed the regulatory landscape for foreign direct investment (FDI) and the discretionary power of governments in FDI decisions, influenced by national security and political considerations.

Providing a Russian perspective on when overseas companies run into restrictions, Timur Akhundov, a partner at Birch Legal, Saint Petersburg, said: ��Russia is interested in technology, in bringing a workforce and capital inside the country, creating [employment] and increasing competition in the market. If the mission of your company is along those lines, I think that the investment should be safe from a political perspective and not run into any kind of special investigations or de-privatisation, which is now a keyword these days.��

Russia carried out expropriations following the start of the conflict in Ukraine, targeting companies from countries it viewed as unfriendly.

Akhundov advised companies to choose a neutral jurisdiction such as Turkey, India, China, Hong Kong or Vietnam through which to enter Russia. If they were from a country that introduced sanctions, then they would face restrictions.

��We see that being done by Italian and American companies, they are doing that and surviving,�� said Akhundov.

Hong Bui, a partner at LNT & Partners in Ho Chi Minh City, expressed surprise that Russian authorities did not look past the formal beneficiary owner.

Ira Eddymurthy, a senior partner at SSEK Law Firm in Jakarta, provided an Indonesian perspective. She said the country��s largest investor was Singapore, but in fact most jurisdictions were routing their investments through the city-state, citing the example of TikTok entering Indonesia through its Singapore company rather than its China or US entities.

��Unlike Russia, our government really tries to identify the ultimate beneficial owner,�� said Eddymurthy. ��For the past 12 months, the law minister has been quite aggressive about wanting to know about the ultimate beneficial ownership and asking for them to be registered.��

Sharing a Vietnamese perspective, Bui said Vietnam was hesitant to fall into the middle-income trap that affected countries such as Thailand and the Philippines and was studying different models for national development.

��The country has decided to develop some chaebols, such as [those in] South Korea, and has so-called national champions, and for that, it has chosen to prioritise national resources for them. From the position of a foreign investor, you can see that this is somehow unfair treatment. For the same project in the same area, there is no restriction on foreign investment, but the approval process goes faster for the national champions.��

Bui said it was the interpretation and implementation of the law that made all the difference in allowing or halting foreign companies. ��Because of the policy to prioritise some national champions, it eventually results in unfair treatment between a foreign investor and a big local company.��

Domestic law v bilateral treaty: Tax lawyers weigh in

Natalie — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:18:27 +0000

The panel on ��Recent Structures and Trends to Pass Anti-avoidance Tests�� at the Inter-Pacific Bar Association saw enthusiastic participation from the audience, making it a lively exchange of views. Moderators Gibran Naushad, counsel at GN Law in New Delhi, and Siong Sie Khong, a partner at Jason Teoh & Partners in Kuala Lumpur, encouraged discussion with explanations and prompted follow-ups on the topics discussed.

Panellists in the session were Tom Kwon, a partner at Lee & Ko in Seoul, Br��gida Galbete, counsel at Cuatrecasas Legal in Barcelona, Tin-Lok Shea, a partner at H & H Lawyers in Sydney, and Sneh Shah, a partner at Khaitan & Co in Mumbai.

Each panellist discussed judicial developments and principles from their countries on tax residency certificates and permanent establishments, among other topics. Shea, while discussing the developments from Australia, even brought a can of Schweppes while referring to a case involving the company and Pepsi.

The session concluded with audience members exchanging views with the panellists, making it lively and insightful on tax laws in different countries.

At a crossroads: How regions are becoming ESG-friendly

Natalie — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 13:34:41 +0000

The Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) vice-chairs of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) committee, Christina Reyes, a junior partner at Cochingyan & Partners Law Offices in Manila and Weronika Nalbert, a senior associate at Wardy��ski & Partners in Warsaw, presented the panel ��Carbon crossroads: Navigating the legal labyrinth of a net-zero future�� on 27 February.

They were joined by panellists Andreanna Ten, a partner at Zaid Ibrahim & Co in Kuala Lumpur, Vanita Bhargava, a senior partner at Khaitan & Co in Noida, India, Romanee (Mengni) Luo, a partner at QZ&WD Law Firm in Nanchang, China, and Eric Wagner, a partner at Gleiss Lutz, Stuttgart, Germany.

Coming from different jurisdictions, the panellists gave an overview of the ESG landscape and environmental regulation in their respective countries and regions.

��When we look at China��s ESG ecosystem over the 14th five-year plan period of 2021 to 2025, one word that comes to our mind is acceleration,�� said Luo, who is the chairperson-elect of the IPBA environmental law committee. She said the increased pace rests on ��two fundamental pillars�� C one is the 2012 Beautiful China Initiative, and the other is China��s 2020 dual carbon commitment, which targets carbon dioxide emissions peaking before 2030 and the country achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.

��ESG has evolved from a niche investor focus into a non-negotiable national strategy in China, where a top-down policy mandate is meeting with a bottom-up corporate awakening,�� added Luo. ��ESG is no longer optional but is actually regulated, is enforceable and is creating a new legal exposure.��

Reyes said that in the Philippines, sustainability reporting was limited to the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. ��It��s the association of a monetary value, of a number to your sustainability goals. In that aspect, we are still talking about it being monetised, which is apparently an initial step for any endeavour in any regulation. So first, you appeal to how it affects your business �C the bottom line. Then you move on to a larger principle, which is, you want to do this. You want to comply on your own without nothing in return.��

Wagner discussed the ESG landscape in Europe and Germany. He broke it down under the heads of ��reporting, carbon trading, supply chain due diligence and greenwashing��. Wagner is highly regarded for his expertise in ESG matters, particularly in corporate due diligence in supply chains. He spoke at length about the EU��s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, which mandates detailed ESG data reporting.

Finally, the conversation among those at the panel moved to the subject of greenwashing. Bhargava shared an Indian perspective, stating that guidelines for the prevention of greenwashing were only framed in 2024 and provided under the Consumer Protection Act. She said that the Advertising Standards Council of India had also issued guidelines on how companies could claim to be environmentally friendly. ��Companies cannot use words like ��eco-friendly, natural or sustainable�� without evidence. They should not use misleading green coloured imagery while ignoring a major negative environmental impact [of their product]. And this is also considered as an unfair trade practice.��

Bhargava said there was a risk of over-regulation, leading to the trend of ��green hushing��. Nalbert agreed and said a similar trend could be observed in Europe.

IPBA president-elect Priti Suri welcomed the audience and promised a treat.

There followed multiple Indian cultural performances of kathakali, classical music, garbha and bhangra originating from various parts of the country.

Michael Chu, outgoing IPBA president, delivered a farewell speech where he applauded Suri for hosting a successful conference.

Suri welcomed the next president-elect of the IPBA, James Jung, and expressed confidence in the 2027 IPBA conference, which he will host in Sydney, Australia.

Lawyers debate work cultures: 4-day work week v 996

Natalie — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 12:56:36 +0000

From left: Harold Berrier, partner at Yd��s; Ajay Solanki, partner at AZB & Partners; Bj?rn Otto, partner at CMS Germany; Poorvi Chothani, managing partner at LawQuest; and Pimvimol (June) Vipamaneerut, partner at Tilleke & Gibbins

One of the sessions at the Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) on 26 February was titled ��From Boomers to Zoomers �C Exploring Trends for the Future of Work and Work-life Balance Expectations v 996 Working Hour Systems in Asia, the US, Europe and Beyond��.

Moderated by Bj?rn Otto, a partner at CMS Germany in Cologne, the speakers represented diverse geographic backgrounds. Ajay Solanki, partner at AZB & Partners in Mumbai; Harold Berrier, partner at Yd��s in Paris; Poorvi Chothani, managing partner at LawQuest in New York; and Pimvimol (June) Vipamaneerut, partner at Tilleke & Gibbins in Bangkok.

The discussion compared work cultures across regions, highlighting differences in flexibility and regulations.

Chothani described the US system as ��extremely flexible�� compared with the more structured European system, but noted that refusing to work long hours in the US could result in dismissal. The conversation then turned to lawyers�� own working hours.

Berrier said: ��French lawyers are not subject to working hour regulations. However, if you employ lawyers, you��re supposed to comply with regulations.��

Otto shared an anecdote about a former associate at an investment bank in New York who sued her workplace. ��It was contractually agreed that she needs nine consecutive hours of sleep every night. In return, she would work seven days a week. During a deal, at 1am, she left and said she [needed] to go to bed. As a result, they fired her.��

Chothani said the former associate should win the case because, in the US, the contract prevails.

Otto told India Business Law Journal, ��While older employees tend to be more accepting of traditional work structures and working time rosters, younger generations oftentimes do not only expect fewer hours, but above all more autonomy.��

Vipamaneerut said associates in Thailand work long hours because they want to be promoted. ��We allow them to work longer hours, and the next day, if you come in late, we don��t mind at all. We are entitled to overtime, but my associates and I never claim it. If they work overtime or on Sunday, then I reward them with a bonus.��

She added that, as a partner, she did not have the authority to hire or fire a lawyer. But she can make a proposal to the management committee about it.

The concept of a four-day work week was also debated, with Solanki discussing its applicability in India under the recently introduced labour codes. The speakers expressed differing views on its practicality and impact on productivity and work-life balance.

At the other extreme is the 996 work culture. The term 996 refers to a 12-hour-a-day, six-day-a-week schedule that emerged in China��s tech industry.

��From a legal perspective, 996 is not legally enforceable in many jurisdictions worldwide,�� said Otto, noting the statutory overtime caps in Thailand and the binding rest requirements in Europe. He concluded: ��More hours mean poorer results.��

Ashima Obhan, a senior partner at Obhan Mason in New Delhi, said she was particularly looking forward to this session. ��It would be interesting to hear the varied perspectives and practical challenges that the panel would discuss.��

Obhan added that she was drawn by ��the opportunity to reconnect with old colleagues from across the world and also forge new connections. With the shift in the legal and political landscape in many countries, IPBA is a good forum to evaluate how these affect our practice��.

Singapore, China officials at launch of A&G��s Shanghai office

Natalie — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 14:54:05 +0000

Allen & Gledhill (A&G) has officially launched a representative office in Shanghai, marking the Singapore firm��s first overseas presence outside Southeast Asia.

Yong Kai Chang, a partner at the firm who specialises in corporate M&A and capital markets with nearly 20 years of experience in mainland China and Hong Kong, heads the Shanghai office.

��We are confident that our new Shanghai representative office will help China businesses navigate the challenging and evolving business and legal landscape across the Asean, and also serve as a bridge between our clients in the Asean and around the world, who are looking to expand their businesses in China,�� Yong said.

Allen & Gledhill��s team in Shanghai comprises 10 bilingual lawyers who can advise on a range of practice areas, including corporate and commercial, M&A, international arbitration, private wealth and corporate compliance, the firm told Asia Business Law Journal.

The Shanghai office was officially opened by Edwin Tong, Singapore��s minister for culture, community and youth and second minister for law, who was accompanied by Low Yen Ling, minister of state for the ministry of trade and industry and ministry of culture, community and youth, Allen & Gledhill said.

Liu Weiping, of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Justice, and Huang Aiwu, the secretary of the party group and director of the Judicial Bureau of Pudong New Area Shanghai, also attended the opening ceremony.

��By establishing a strong presence in Shanghai, we are better positioned to serve both our local and international clients through facilitating seamless cross-border transactions in the region and beyond,�� the firm said.

Senior adviser and M&A lawyer Huang Xuhua is among many Allen & Gledhill lawyers under the China practice. Huang is admitted to practice in mainland China, Hong Kong and New York, and joined the Singapore firm in 2018 from King & Wood Mallesons as head of the China practice group.

China��s Ministry of Justice (MOJ) in June last year that Allen & Gledhill was among five foreign law firms to receive its approval to open representative offices. UK-based Holman Fenwick Willan and US firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius received approval to set up shop in Shenzhen, while Malaysian practice Ricky Tan & Co and Cyprus firm Areti Charidemou & Associates obtained permission to establish representative offices in Haikou and Chongqing, respectively.

Allen & Gledhill now has a presence in six countries across Asia, including Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia and Vietnam.
