The Leicestershire Asian Business Association (LABA) has forged
a new alliance with East Midlands law firm Browne Jacobson to help
support the growth of Asian businesses in the county.
As a preferred supplier of legal services LABA and its members
will be able to access legal and practical business advice from one
of the region's leading commercial law firms. The partnership will
also see Browne Jacobson work closely with LABA in developing
networking opportunities between the region's Asian businesses and
overseas trade delegations through its network of offices in
London, Nottingham and Birmingham.
Jaspal Singh Minhas, President of LABA, commented: "With Browne
Jacobson on board as a legal services partner we hope to create a
platform to build a long term strategic alliance for enhancing
bilateral commercial opportunities between the business community
in Leicestershire and organisations as far afield as India, Middle
East and Africa who are keen to enhance further trading and
investment links with the region.
"Browne Jacobson's corporate and commercial expertise across a
wide range of sectors such as food and drink, banking and retail is
second to none and we believe their involvement will be important
in supporting our members and assisting LABA's plans to establish a
world class business advice and international trade centre, thus
enhancing the region's global trading credentials and attracting
much needed inward investment opportunities."
Iain Blatherwick, Managing Partner at Browne Jacobson, added:
"Partnering with organisations such as LABA underpins our
commitment to the region's business community and its long term
economic prosperity. Businesses in the region, especially those
reliant on consumer spending are bracing themselves for a tough
year so we are keen to do all we can in supporting and facilitating
enterprise, business growth and international trade and investment
opportunities for LABA and its members."
