Mourant Ozannes opens Hong Kong office
Mourant Ozannes, one of the leading global offshore law firms, has enlarged its footprint in Asia by opening an office in Hong Kong. Three partners have relocated to Asia where they will focus initially on investment funds, corporate and finance work.
Paul Christopher will serve as managing partner, with Alex Last and Simon Lawrenson heading up the Asia practice for the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands, respectively. Senior lawyers Danielle Roman and Bronwyn King have also joined the Hong Kong team.
Jonathan Rigby, managing partner of Mourant Ozannes, said: "Many of our clients, as well as the international law firms with whom we work so closely, are based in Asia or now have significant operations in the region. Establishing an office in Hong Kong, the region's leading international finance centre, was an obvious strategic move for Mourant Ozannes."
Mourant Ozannes already has offices in Cayman, Jersey, Guernsey and London.
