Where a firm has a specific country desk operating from a different office in the region (ex: India Desk from Singapore) or an associate office or a working-arrangement with a local firm, what factors might make it attractive for a firm to graduate to a full office located in the jurisdiction?

I understand that sometimes legal profession regulations in a country may not permit it, but for example, with India allowing foreign firms to set up offices recently (subject to a host of conditions) what might be business reasons for a law firm to (a) scrap the India Hub in Singapore model/ Best-friends model/ fly-in-fly out model, and establish an office in India or (b) Continue with their existing models and choose not to open an office?

Note: This question is making the assumption that there is a commercial case for the law firm to increase work from the jurisdiction/expand.

Thank you!</blockquote>
