Mayer Brown’s new Asia head to boost growth in HK, SG, Tokyo
Corporate & Securities partner Hannah Ha is quoted in Asia Business Law Journal about her appointment as chair of the firm’s Asia board.
“Aligned with our firm’s global strategy and focus on key product and sector areas, we plan to consolidate the growth of our three regional hubs in Asia,” Hannah says. “Our approach in Asia is about continuity and global alignment. We will continue to leverage our global reach and local strength to support the evolving needs of our local and international client base", she adds.
Amid the increasing number of PRC law firms entering Hong Kong and Asian markets, Hannah sees it as a positive sign, and says that this is an established trend which should be welcomed by the market. It increases the opportunities for collaboration between international and PRC law firms, ensuring that PRC enterprises obtain holistic support on transactional and contentious cross-border issues.
