| Sidley Austin is to have a new managing partner for the Asia Pacific region. Thomas W. Albrecht, a member of the firm’s management and executive committees, is relocating from Chicago to Hong Kong to assume responsibility for the firm’s practice in the region, which is currently spread across offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
