3 Redefine ASEAN A leading legal practice for a changing world For over two decades, Hogan Lovells has advised clients active in ASEAN tracking the region's journey to become one of the largest and most influential trading blocks in the world. The still untapped potential for development across a range of industries and countries, together with opportunities consistently arising from the region's growth means that ASEAN is now, more than ever, a focus for international corporations, investors and financiers in addition to Asian players. Hogan Lovells' ASEAN practice can help you exploit these opportunities and navigate the risks inherent in one of the most diverse cultural, geographic and legal environments in the world. This brochure introduces our team and summarises their capabilities for your easy reference. We look forward to supporting you as ASEAN continues to redefine its role in the global economy.
