Law Firm Overview FREE CONSULTATION

IPG attorneys and business professionals are proud to be some of the world's most experienced professionals focused on the practice of law in Asia. Our boutique mid-size law firm, through our local connections, six global offices, a leading-edge case management system and real on-the-ground Asia experience, has garnered a reputation for providing effective and efficient legal solutions in some of the most complex international business matters.

We are engaged in projects, exclusively, in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Korea, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam and the United States through the China Practice Team; Dispute Resolution & Litigation Practice Team; Korea Practice Team; U.S. Immigration Team; U.S. Investment & Corporate Law Team; and Southeast Asia Practice Team. We work with both Fortune 500 companies and SMEs.

Peer Respected
Our professionals are often quoted by the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Bloomberg, Financial Times and local news sources. Our Korean Law Blog has been nominated as one of the Top 25 International & Foreign Law Blogs by LexisNexis and our China and Asian law blogs have been extensively quoted by our peers and the news media. Many of our attorneys have been rated Excellent by Avvo and other lawyer rating services and we are, often, consulted by local governments, U.S., British, German, Chinese, Russian and French law firms for matters for their clients.

Locally Connected
Our professionals are proud to have gained over a decade of experience in working with Fortune 500 companies, SMEs and entrepreneurs on projects throughout Asia and the states. Our professional roster includes former politicians, judges, prosecutors, government ministers, senior military officers, in-house attorneys, senior government officers, and directors/executives of multinational companies.

Asia-Focused Practice
We never, simply, fly someone in for a project. We live and work in Asia. The chairs of our China, Korea and Southeast Asian practice teams were born in America, but have worked in Asia for most of their adult lives and deeply understand the legal systems, business practices and local culture of the local jurisdictions.

American Attorney/International Lawyer Led
The IPG is managed by a group of some of the most known American lawyers in Asia and assisted by local politicians, retired judges, prosecutors, in house attorneys, senior government officials, local attorneys and directors/executives of multinational companies. We strive to provide service to a level equal to the best U.S., British, Australian, German and French firms. This is accomplished through a sophisticated case management system, a systematic approach to the practice of law and the active involvement, in all cases, of our American attorneys and senior local partners and consultants.

Experienced Professionals
Our attorneys have significant international experience in: Arbitration, Asset Protection & Management; Corporate Law & Compliance; Dispute Resolution & Compliance; Energy & Mining; International Business Transactions; Infrastructure & Development; FDI & Free Trade Zones; Franchise & Retail; Intellectual Property; Joint Venture Dispute Resolution; Mergers & Acquisitions; Real Estate Development; SME Market-Entry; and Taxation & Customs.
