“As trade, investment, technology and businesses increasingly transcend national borders, the legal profession in Asia must also move towards greater dialogue and cooperation. Asia has diverse legal systems and regulatory frameworks, and issues such as cross-border dispute resolution, data privacy, artificial intelligence and digital trade are creating new challenges that cannot be looked at in isolation.”
