In-House Insight
Taking the plunge
After twenty years in a partnership role at Australian firm Allens Arthur Robinson, Bob Santamaria took the plunge and moved in-house in 2007, joining ANZ as Group General Counsel. The GFC hit a mere few months later, rocking the banking world to its core. For Santamaria, it was a case of sink or swim, and despite the inevitable challenges that ensued, he explains to Rebecca Brookes why he has never looked back.Breaking new ground
After 35 years with GE, Stephen Maloy, General Counsel Asia Pacific, talks about turning challenges into opportunities, the importance of diversity in a multinational organisation, and the qualities GE looks for in external counsel.Guarding the truth

Women in the Law
Across Asia and the Middle East, women are playing an increasingly important role in the corporate legal world. ASIAN-MENA COUNSEL speaks to a host of successful women around the region who have managed to walk the knife's edge and often balance their challenging legal careers with equally challenging family demands. Despite deeply embedded attitudes towards women and their traditional roles in parts of Asia, it is encouraging to note that many law firms around the region are becoming increasingly progressive and answering the call to create more supportive and flexible conditions for female lawyers. We hear women recount their stories about their rise to the top and the attitudes and conditions they face in their own countries as women in the law.
“Landing Foreign Direct Investment in Asia”
In our latest edition of ASIAN-MENA COUNSEL, the issue of Foreign Direct Investment takes centre stage. Homing in on the welcoming investment climate in Asia, Weerawong, Chinnavat & Peangpanor, pulls back the covers and sheds some light on the incentives that the Thai government has been able to drum up, despite recent political turmoil and Lubis Ganie makes a compelling case for FDI in Indonesia. Industry experts from Clasis Law and Jun He Law Offices bring their collective towers of experience to bear in their features on why India and China remain attractive destinations in which to settle funds.
Anti-Trust – No Longer Playing the Monopoly Game
In this edition, we present you with an overview of the issues relating to anti-trust and competition law in the region. Under the microscope are the implications of pending legislation in Hong Kong, the impact of Competition law on consumer confidence in the Indian market, and the great strides taken by the Japanese economy following the earthquake, in the context of merger review rules.Other Articles and Columns
Acknowledging the Labour that goes with the Love – a look at extended maternity leave in China
Lesli Ligorner and Mitchell Mosvick of Paul Hastings shine a light on the steps taken by the Chinese government to improve the lives of working mothers. Extended maternity leave benefits, greater protections for new mothers and additional entitlements based on individual circumstances have paved the way for a more balanced lifestyle and a significant move in the right direction in terms of social progress. And this could just be the tip of the iceberg….
Is Singapore jockeying itself into position for a new sports law regime?
Singapore is making an effort to step up to the plate in order to give athletes a fair shake when it comes to competitive opportunities in the region, according to Stephen Townley, foreign consultant at KhattarWong. However, the island still has some way to go and needs to invest in the requisite ‘intellectual infrastructure’.
