At Asialaw's In-house Counsel Summit in Hong Kong on March 17 2010, Danone's Asia-Pacific general counsel David Flavell reviewed recent trends in target due diligence practices

What are the key responsibilities of your role as general counsel Asia-Pacific and how does this fit in with the rest of the legal function at Danone?

My key responsibility is to manage the legal function across the many different Danone businesses in Asia Pacific and Middle East. This covers many areas including contract negotiation, litigation, corporate secretarial, regulatory compliance and joint venture partnerships, as well as managing all legal aspects around mergers and acquisitions projects in the region. In addition, I focus on the performance and development of the legal team, relationships with the business teams and management of the relationships with our key external legal providers. We operate fairly autonomously in the region.
