Through bi-monthly virtual meetings, our legal professionals engage in in-depth discussions to enhance their understanding of each other’s judicial systems, fostering a collaborative exchange of legal insights and strategies.
In addition, we have established a Lawyer Exchange Programme, allowing legal practitioners from our firms to gain firsthand experience in each other’s jurisdictions.
