About the College of Law in Asia

The College of Law in Asia is an innovative education and training organisation that specialises in the advancement of legal practice and legal services across the greater Asia region. We work through partner organisations and directly with firms and organisations who want to train their lawyers to be ready for the future of legal practice and client demands.

We deliver a range of programs, designed specifically for the delivery of legal services, with a focus on cross-border work and the management of legal organisations. Using an innovative, blended teaching model, we help develop lawyers’ skills so that they are workplace ready.

Our team

Our team in Asia is comprised of highly accomplished lawyers and educators who have earned a reputation as leading authorities within the region. These individuals bring an exceptional level of expertise, experience, and commitment to the table, setting the standard for excellence in innovative legal education in the region.

Masterclasses

Our Masterclass series are each a one-day practical workshop focused on cross-border legal issues. Participants in each workshop work through a case study which illustrates the practical nature of the topics and issues covered, facilitated by an experienced practitioner.

Our masterclass series are run online or onsite via local partner organisations, or can be tailored to be delivered in-house to law firms and legal departments.

Masterclasses include:

• Cross-border M&A Practice
