The lawyers in the office cover transactions across Asia, and have worked on some of the largest and most innovative transactions in the region. The comprehensive Asia practice covers Goodwin’s key industry verticals of private equity, technology, life sciences, financial services and real estate.

“Goodwin in Hong Kong has a particular expertise in advising investors and entrepreneurs in a technology and innovation driven economy,” said David Hashmall, Goodwin’s Chairman. “This unique value proposition allows us to punch above our weight and continues to drive our success in the Asia-Pacific region and globally.”
