Asia is also one of the most diverse regions in terms of economies, industries, laws and regulations, cultures, making the practice of law in Asia very specific. Hong Kong, along with London and New York, is one of the world s leading global financial centres with a highly developed economy which boasts the greatest concentration of corporate headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region. Hong Kong is often regarded as the hub linking together Europe, the United States and the Middle East with other Asian countries and, in particular, Mainland China, and, as such, Hong Kong comes as a natural complement to Luxembourg, a traditional gateway to Europe and intermediary jurisdiction for structuring investments throughout the world. A strategic presence in Hong Kong also permits to cover other key jurisdictions and/ or markets within the Asia-Pacific region such as, in particular, Mainland China, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Australia. As a result, and continuing Arendt & Medernach s international expansion, our firm became in October 2009 the first independent Luxembourg law firm to be registered as a Foreign Law Firm with the Hong Kong Law Society. Advising exclusively on Luxembourg legal, tax and regulatory matters, we work for a large number of clients active in the financial sector including banks, insurance companies, retail fund managers (UCITS), private equity funds and hedge funds as well as operational companies and sovereign wealth funds based in the Asia-Pacific region. Establishing an office in Hong Kong has enhanced our offering to our international client base, allowing us to deliver real time advice to our clients in the region, during their business hours, on Luxembourg legal and regulatory questions which impact their businesses. Maintaining a presence on the ground not only makes us more accessible to clients but also demonstrates our commitment to the region, whilst deepening our knowledge of local customs and markets as well as strengthening our relationships with the leading local law firms.
