Morgan Lewis expands in China

Morgan Lewis has expanded significantly its China corporate, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and private equity practice with the addition of 13 partners in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. All 13 partners arrived from another global law firm, joining Morgan Lewis’s current seven-partner team in mainland China. The move furthers Morgan Lewis’s commitment to Greater China and the Asia-Pacific region, deepening its presence there and adding some 40 lawyers to create a team of more than 70 lawyers and legal professionals in China. This team will also work closely with Morgan Lewis’s offices in Singapore and Tokyo. Leading the 13-partner team is Edwin Luk.
