3 D S i n A s i a Since 1980 the firm has chosen to establish itself in Asia in order to assist European companies investing and doing business on this continent. Today, the firm has three offices in China, two in Vietnam, and one in Singapore. DS is also active in India, Japan and ASEAN countries, via its network of selected correspondent firms. With its knowledge of local businesses and governments, and its crosscultural teams DS is firmly established in the Asian business and legal environment. This has made the firm the obvious partner of Asian companies investing in Europe. Asian companies turn to DS French, Belgian, Spanish, Italian and German teams, and the European hub for questions concerning EU institutions. DS thus provides its European clients in Asia, and Asian clients in Europe with legal assistance and support in establishing and developing their businesses. October page 3
