Annual Reviews

As business leaders seek new opportunities for growth, our combination of global reach and local depth has never been more relevant.

In our 2012 Annual Review:

  • We test the potential of emerging markets and shine a spotlight on the promise of Africa. Clients seek help to protect foreign investments and we ask market experts to discuss the need for a global legal standard.
  • Our advice on the second Greek bailout could have implications for future sovereign events. We examine the changing shape of the banking industry, ask what’s next for the offshore RMB market and discuss the globalisation of antitrust enforcement.
  • Employers seek guidance on social media in the workplace. We describe the link between culture and governance at A&O, ask what’s on the mind of general counsels and share a summary of our financial history and responsible business practices.

The full review and financial statements are available on our Annual Review 2012 website, as well a video interview with David Morley and Wim Dejonghe, senior and managing partner.
