Strategically developing their Asian presence, Watson Farley Williams will launch an office in Hong Kong once the necessary regulatory approvals have been given the greenlight. This will be the third office in Asia for the UK based firm which additionally has offices in Bangkok and Singapore.

The new office will be helmed by Loretta Lau, a UK qualified corporate and capital markets lawyer, formerly of Goodwin Proctor. Madeline Leong, an asset finance partner will join the new office from their Singapore outpost and head up the transport and natural resources department.
