US firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius is set to expand in China with the launch of an office in the booming southern city of Shenzhen.
The new office will be led by China IP team lead Shaobin Zhu and is intended to connect tech and life sciences companies in the region to Morgan Lewis’ global network of offices, including existing bases in China in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Morgan Lewis chair Jami McKeon said: “Shenzhen is a major hub of China’s technology industry with the highest density of start-ups of all the mainland cities in China, and it is a staging ground for large high-tech companies from all over the world.
“Our lawyers are already working with dozens of clients operating in and connected to this market, and this demonstrates our commitment to serving our clients in the technology and life sciences sectors, including biotechnology. Our team on the ground will collaborate closely across our offices in Asia and with our global technology and life sciences industry teams to bring our cross-practice, cross-jurisdictional capabilities for inbound and outbound matters to the forefront for our clients.”
