Asia-Pacific has grown at a faster pace than other regions as large companies have been established there for the first time and have been able to grow with less competition than seen in other regions, namely North America or Europe. Baker McKenzie became the first foreign firm to enter China in 2015 and has already been successful. Many companies, especially in the US and Europe, outsource legal services to India, among similar countries, due to low operating costs there. Though this practice has boosted the Indian market greatly, it has also increased competition in the countries that outsource.

China and India are expected to see continuing levels of strong growth while Japan and Italy will have some of the lowest levels of growth in the forecast period.
