The FIRST TRUST-LEGALLEX^TM Law Alliance (the "Alliance") is a premier Regional Network of member law practices spanning the Asia-Pacific region, from the various states in India to the provinces of China and beyond. The Alliance, first founded as the LEGALLEX^TM Law Alliance by Messrs ChrisChong & CT Ho Partnership, a full service Singapore law practice with strong cross-border corporate finance & securities law expertise, is administered with emphasis on the following:

• Banding together leading law practices from various jurisdictions across the Asia-Pacific for economies of scale and facilitating outward growth opportunities for member law practices (especially in cross-border transactions beyond their respective local business markets), providing comprehensive clientcare handholding, professional business advisory, tax, outsourcing, legal advisory and support services under the brand name of the Alliance;
  
• Connecting clients and prospects alike to leading member law practices, each of which are highly reputable in its national business community and staffed by locals, thereby ensuring familiarity and knowledge of local laws, customs and business market environment, to provide direct ‘on-site’ legal advisory and support services, which are essential considerations for clients undertaking cross-border ventures or offshore investments.
  
• Promoting direct knowledge exchange, legislative updates and enhancing relationship building and interaction between members through annual seminar retreats.

First Trust-Legallex^TM Law Alliance is the exclusive legal arm of FIRST TRUST, providing legal advisory services offered by Alliance member law practices across the Asia-Pacific region. Member firms of the First Trust international network of professional services firms can therefore work together to offer comprehensive and one-stop professional services spanning the full spectrum of business, financial and legal advisory services to support clients needs.
