We have considerable knowledge and experience in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. Our expertise enables us to provide a seamless service across jurisdictions, and we advise a wide range of clients doing business throughout the region. Lawyers here feel like they are helping to build something important.
The cosmopolitan Hong Kong office sits right on Victoria Harbour and enjoys magnificent views. In Shanghai, we’re located in the Pudong Financial Centre, the Canary Wharf of Shanghai, and the brand-new Singapore office enjoys the prime position of Capital Square, which is within walking distance of the water.
We value community integration and it’s reflected in our international staff, which includes an array of Italians, Australians, Malaysians, Singaporeans and citizens of PRC. There is no shortage of social events among the teams, and everyone enjoys the dramatic celebrations of Chinese New Year and Golden Week.
The defining characteristics of the Asia offices are teamwork and collaboration. Because we’re not as big as some other offices and because we’re growing, we demand flexibility and readiness to dive into the issues. Lawyers here tend to become involved in cases in their entirety from an early stage, which requires great amounts of initiative and responsibility.
In order to maintain standards set by the Hong Kong Law Society, we have an accredited provider of in-house training for a variety of relevant legal topics. Lawyers also receive practice management skills training from an external provider.
Travel between the Shanghai and Hong Kong offices is constant, and there are good opportunities for travel in the region.
