The Forum is an annual meeting of elite-level private practice and in-house lawyers from across Asia Pacific region who are proficient in the negotiation, structuring, and execution of private capital investment transactions and mergers & acquisitions.
Using candid, peer-driven discussion, participants share the most pressing issues they are facing, as well as examine trends and developments across jurisdictions to learn how others address problems and work together to identify solutions.
This advisory group of leading practitioners drafted the Agenda and personally nominated all invitees to the Forum.

"The organisation of the event was impeccable which meant the focus of attendees was solely on sharing ideas. The attendees were a great mix from the investors who we work alongside in the space. Query whether more input from Infra debt specialists (on the in-house side) could be helpful."
