Letter from Asia: Should US firms build local practices in Hong Kong?
By Legal Week | July 23, 2010
The Agricultural Bank of China's initial public offering (IPO), expected to become the world's largest, debuted this week, landing squarely in the middle of a debate over whether leading Wall Street law firms should build local practice capability in Hong Kong. The IPO on the Hong Kong and Shanghai exchanges would seem an obvious rallying cry for those arguing that top US capital markets firms will miss out on deals without their own Hong Kong lawyers - except that the lead lawyers on the AgBank deal are from New York's Davis Polk & Wardwell, which only practises US law.

Basel III - ill-advised sequel or sound banking rules?
By Legal Week | July 14, 2010
Amid the swathe of proposed rules and regulations that are likely to apply to banks, financial institutions, rating agencies and others in the wake of the financial crisis, there are a significant number of new rules relating to capital adequacy treatment for securitisation transactions. Although widely dubbed Basel III, the proposed rules do not really constitute a new regime so much as a series of amendments to the existing Basel II framework. Like a bad Hollywood sequel, the danger is that Basel III will be longer, more involved and less thought through than the original (and probably worse received by its target audience).
