Whistling while they smirk, or eyeing the door?
The Japanese government takes a highly protectionist view of terminations of employment, to the extent that employers bear the burden of proving why they are letting an employee go. If a dismissal is not considered in keeping with standard social norms, an employer may fall foul of the law, according to Hajime Iwaki and Lawrence Carter of DLA Piper. A delicate balance has to be struck ... between sometimes coaxing resignations and re-locating employees.
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.

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.

Best practice for anti-corruption reviews in merger & acquisition transactions

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.
Courage of Conviction
CEOs and General Counsel share a sympatico that is hard to define. The role of in-house counsel has evolved to the extent that they have crossed over from being mere legal advisors to becoming definitive confidantes. Dispensing legal advice in prescription form won’t win you the brownie points you need to succeed in such competitive environments, explains Caroline Lim of DHR International. You’ll need “courageous integrity” to go the distance with your CEO.

Last year’s strong M&A activity in Asia has continued in the first half of 2011. In our Special Report, senior lawyers practising in the field share their insights into the factors driving activity, from Asia’s thirst for overseas acquisitions to foreign companies trying to gain a foothold in emerging markets.

We also turn the spotlight on China’s efforts to open up its audiovisual imports market and ask whether they are enough to benefit foreign investors. With editorial contributions from Khaitan & Co and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.
Supporting the Legal Function – Beyond External Counsel
With legal departments under more pressure than ever before to cut costs and improve efficiency, it is hardly surprising that general counsel have been seeking out the most cost effective options around when it comes to outsourcing. The demand for cheaper, more innovative third-party legal services has triggered a new wave of dynamic new players in the legal sector, eager to compete with traditional law firms for a slice of the action. Our Special Report focuses on the rise of ‘new model’ firms, legal process outsourcers (LPOs) and other service providers. Experts in the sector explain how these have changed the legal market and look at ways in which conventional law firms can compete by adapting.

But environmental concerns, political volatility in oil producing nations and finite resources mean the race is on to find alternative ways of meeting huge energy demand. In our Special Report on Energy and Natural Resources find out how the region is increasingly investing in overseas power projects and technologies as it strives to diversify its energy mix. Meanwhile, senior industry lawyers tell us how high-profile offshore energy disasters have shaped insurance legislation and how Indonesia plans to exploit its geothermal resources to generate electricity.
To trade or not to trade: that is the question
Dr George Woodman, director of Teng Hoi Conservation Organization, presents the case for carbon trading as a way of cutting greenhouse gas emissions and explains how a simple game is helping spread the word.
A journey into the danger zone
This month’s tragic events in Japan, triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami, have shocked people around the world. The sheer scale of the catastrophe and loss of life cannot fail to have moved even the most hardened of observers, and countless organisations and individuals have been busy raising funds for the relief effort. Japanese officials have estimated it will cost as much as 25 trillion yen (US$309bn) to rebuild the country after the disaster. As fears of a nuclear fallout from the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant spread in the days following the quake, residents and workers fled Tokyo in their thousands, many expatriates returning to the safety of their home countries. But as many international lawyers were fleeing the Japanese capital, one English barrister was heading into the danger zone on a mission to reach his family and get them out. Matthew Seligman, of London based Steel & Shamash Solicitors, didn’t hesitate to make the daunting journey to Tsunami-hit Sendai - the city closest to the earthquake’s epicentre - to be with his wife, Hiromi, nine year old daughter Daisy, and ‘Shark’ and ‘Dolphin’, their two cats. Matthew, who is also an internationally acclaimed musician, kept his Facebook friends updated with his progress, and has kindly allowed ASIAN-MENA COUNSEL to share abridged highlights of his courageous journey with the in-house community.
Deals Of The Year – The Best From 2010
Spurred by growing investor confidence, Asia and MENA enjoyed stellar mergers and acquisitions activity in 2010 against a backdrop of record-breaking activity in the capital markets. According to Citigroup, total M&A volume climbed by almost 50 percent to a staggering US$470.5 billion. The Financial Times, quoting Dealogic, reported that US$163.2 billion was raised through 768 Asian initial public offerings last year, a dramatic increase from just US$ 70.2 billion in 354 listings in 2009. The size of Asian deals has been steadily increasing too, with transactions worth more than US$1 billion up sharply from the previous year. These trends are reflected in our winning Deals of the Year ...

Dispute Resolution Special Report
In this month’s Special Report on dispute resolution, we take a look at how Asia Pacific’s role as an international centre for dispute resolution, particularly arbitration, has grown against a backdrop of increasing cross-border transactions. As demand has grown exponentially, so Asia’s leading arbitration centres – including HKIAC, KCAB and SIAC – have moved with the times to maximise the services they provide in a constantly evolving legal framework. We examine some of the key new laws which have shaped dispute resolution in 2010 and outline some of the challenges in pursuing justice through both litigation and arbitration.
Corruption and corporate compliance in China
Matthias Schroeder, former head of Beiten Burkhardt’s Asia desk in Munich, explains the concept of “guanxi” and how to stay the right side of the PRC’s increasingly stringent corruption laws when conducting business there

Plus, find out how a new Reserve Bank of India circular has cleared up some uncertainties surrounding the regulation of core investment companies (CICs).

International arbitration can be an expensive exercise, but there are ways to contain costs, explains barrister Kim M. Rooney as she takes a look at arbitration administered under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce.
Employment Special Report
Organisations in Asia, as with elsewhere in the world, cannot function effectively without a well-organised and responsive workforce.
