Mission Statement

The Cross-Border Investment Committee (“CBIC”) provides a networking forum for lawyers engaged in cross-border investment to exchange ideas, information and experience in order to advance their knowledge of the laws, practices and procedures affecting cross-border investment activities in and beyond the Asia-Pacific region, as well as to develop closer professional links.

The CBIC focuses on foreign investment and corporate laws and policies that are fundamental to the development of international commerce and which affect foreign direct investment (FDI) transactions, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and the raising of capital across the Asia-Pacific region.

Our Committee

The CBIC is one of the largest IPBA Committees. The CBIC's annual conference programs enjoy a high level of attendance and feature presentations by experienced counsel as well as guest speakers from outside the legal profession or in-house roles.

The CBIC leadership always welcomes the active participation of its members. You are welcome to contribute e.g. by attending meetings of the CBIC, suggesting topics for sessions at the annual conference or regional events, speaking in or moderating such sessions, organizing or speaking at other events (e.g. webinars), or by suggesting initiatives that you think the CBIC should pursue.

If you want to contribute but do not know how, please e-mail the Co-Chairs or any of the Vice-Chairs or approach anyone involved in the committee leadership at IPBA events.
