High-growth markets have got the world’s attention. They have entered a new phase of expansion, outpacing more developed markets and attracting massive investment. But, as headlines around the world reveal, local economic, legal and political factors mean the risks, too, outstrip the norm and this makes for an unpredictable environment.

We help organisations around the world reduce the risk of investing in high-growth markets.

Last things first
A crisis is no time to start planning. Because these markets can be unpredictable, we can help you to put effective exit strategies in place that are intrinsic to the overall project design.

Risk resistant foundations
Context is everything. We do a 'risk first' analysis, identifying the best remedy upfront so our clients can shape deals accordingly. We combine diverse strategies to form risk resistant foundations, made to measure for each investment.

Strength from every angle
We blend legal expertise with finely tuned business and political thinking. We may recommend a jurisdiction for your investment vehicle on the basis of tax grounds or we may suggest enlisting an international body as a lender or co-investor.

Always on watch
Trends can cross borders with alarming speed. A surprise tax introduced by a government in one country might swiftly be copied in another and cascade further if it seems successful. We monitor these waves and constantly adjust our approach so that our design process addresses the latest identifiable threats.

Unparalleled experience
Because we're home to many of the world's leading legal practitioners, including in contentious practice areas, we're able to offer you something few firms can: front-line experience, across continents, across disciplines, across decades.
