Asialaw Profiles aims to provide legal suggestions and services for professionals including corporate senior officers and in-house counsels in the Asian-Pacific Region. Like Managing IP, Asialaw Profiles also affiliates to Euromoney Institutional Investor, a reputed British publishing group. The rating results were based on the in-depth survey and analysis of firms in 14 practice areas and 14 industry sectors across 25 jurisdictions. The recommended firms and lawyers have been greatly focused and recognized in the profession. Also, the results would be used as a significant reference basis when various large corporations and organizations selected a legal service agency or cooperative partner. Based on each firm's outstanding performance and professional strength in certain industries, Asialaw Profiles can provide the most accurate guide for a buyer for legal services. This is a real breakthrough in the traditional legal practice area.
