On 25-26 February, SCG Legal will host its 2027 Asia & Pacific Rim Regional Meeting in New Delhi, India.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Asia and the Pacific Rim are entering a period of profound change. The region remains at the center of global economic growth, investment and innovation, while geopolitical competition, evolving trade relationships, new technology, shifting supply chains and energy security are reshaping the environment in which our clients operate. Against this backdrop, our 2027 regional meeting will bring together SCG Legal member firms from across Asia, the Pacific Rim, Europe and the Americas to explore where the region is heading — and how we can help our clients navigate what comes next.
WHAT IS SHAPING THE REGION NOW?
Our discussions will look beyond individual jurisdictions to the regional forces creating new business development opportunities for our members and challenges for businesses, including:
- The new trade and geopolitical landscape: Evolving US–China relations, changing trade policies, regional alliances and their impact on cross-border business.
- Asia’s shifting economic centers: The continued rise of India, the growing importance of ASEAN and the evolving roles of China, Japan, Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, New Zealand and other Asia/Pacific Rim markets.
- Supply chains, investment and the new geography of business: How companies are responding to geopolitical risk, diversification and the emergence of new manufacturing and investment hubs.
- AI, technology and digital regulation: The rapid expansion of AI and digital economies and the growing complexity of regulatory, data, cybersecurity and intellectual property issues across jurisdictions.
- Energy, infrastructure and resilience: The opportunities arising from the region’s transition toward more secure, sustainable and connected energy and infrastructure systems.
- The client perspective: What international businesses are seeing on the ground, where they are investing, what risks concern them most and where they need trusted cross-border legal advice.
Connecting our global network with clients: In addition to the regional meeting, our host firm JSA will conduct a dedicated client event in New Delhi. This will provide an opportunity to share SCG Legal’s global and regional insights with JSA’s clients, while also introducing them to our member firms and the breadth of expertise available across our international network. The event will create a valuable platform for members to engage directly with businesses operating across the region, exchange perspectives on the issues affecting their international activities, and strengthen relationships and opportunities for future cross-border collaboration.
From regional insight to global opportunity: As always, the meeting will be about more than discussion. It is an opportunity to strengthen the relationships that make SCG Legal unique — connecting colleagues across jurisdictions, identifying opportunities to collaborate, sharing market intelligence and building stronger cross-border client relationships. With New Delhi as our setting, we will also have the opportunity to look closely at India’s expanding role in the Asia-Pacific and global economy and what that means for businesses operating across the region.
WHO WILL ATTEND?
More than 50 participants representing Member firms from Australia, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom and Vietnam as well as several members from the United States and Europe.
