In a recent move to strengthen their respective teams, both DLA Piper and Simmons & Simmons have made strategic hires. DLA Piper has onboarded Milbank counsel Brian Youn as a partner in their South Korea office, a move aimed at bolstering their presence in the region. Youn’s deep understanding of the legal landscape in South Korea could prove invaluable to DLA Piper’s aspirations.
Simultaneously, Simmons & Simmons has added a new member to their disputes team in Singapore. Terence Seah, formerly of Stephenson Harwood, has joined the firm – a decision expected to provide a boost to the team’s capabilities in arbitration and commercial litigation. Seah’s impressive track-record and expertise will likely benefit the firm’s contentious practice in the ever-evolving Singaporean legal market.
These developments underscore a growing trend amongst leading law firms globally. By strategically roping in experts with specific regional experience, they aim to better serve their clients with insights tailored to each particular market.
