Beijing: International law firm Stephenson Harwood has just opened an office in Beijing, the fourth office for the firm in Greater China and ninth worldwide.
The opening is part of Stephenson Harwood's growing presence in Greater China, offering a wide range of legal services that include corporate/commercial, international arbitration, finance, marine and international trade, and wealth management advice, across offices in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai and now Beijing.
Commenting on the office opening, Voon Keat Lai, managing partner of Stephenson Harwood in Greater China, said: "The aim of the new office is to be geographically closer to clients in the northern part of China and to support them in their business objectives. Beijing is China's financial and administrative centre and it is important for a firm such as ours to have a presence on the ground."
James Zhang, a new legal director of its Beijing office will be soon joined by another legal director, and the two are specialised in corporate, maritime and litigation. [03/05/13]
