- Mumbai is the financial capital of India and is home to a number of multinational corporations. The city is also a major center for legal services, with a number of international law firms having offices there. This makes Mumbai a great place to intern for an international law firm and gain experience in the Indian legal market.
- Vietnam has a legal system based on the Civil Law System which reflects a European-Style civil law code. This is an example of the European influence that is incorporated in Vietnam law.
- Tokyo is the capital of Japan and is a major financial and commercial center. The city is also home to a number of international law firms, making it a great place to intern for an international law firm and gain experience in the Japanese legal market.
- Legal challenges are prevalent in South Korea. As numerous foreign companies seek to enter the Korean market, navigating complex regulations and compliance requirements poses a significant hurdle.
- Compared to the US, Japan has fewer lawyers per person, but this is because they are joined by a large number of administrators that help them. These administrators range from judicial scriveners to civil law notaries.
- Vietnam’s legal progress can be seen today in its renovated governmental institutions and many new reformed laws that continue to develop, responding to the needs of a modern Vietnam and their relationship with enthusiastic foreign investors.
