Liberalisation of Legal Practice in Asia and Implications for Foreign Law Firms in Malaysia

As a result of efforts under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and the globalisation of services generally, many countries around the world have made it easier for foreign lawyers and foreign law firms to access their legal services market. This is also true in the Asia Pacific Region, where significant reforms have been introduced by countries such as Japan and Singapore in recent years. What impact will this have on Malaysia and what lessons might Malaysia learn from the experience of other countries in the region.
