International law firms Latham & Watkins and Norton Rose Fulbright have seen growth in their Asian presence. As the latest development in the evolving global legal landscape, these firms have added new partners in Tokyo and Singapore, according to reporting from Law.com.
The Tokyo office of Latham & Watkins has welcomed a new partner, Yohei Nakagawa, who joined the firm from Morrison Foerster. In Singapore, Norton Rose Fulbright’s team has been bolstered with the addition of Beelee Seah, who was previously associated with Baker McKenzie. Both Nakagawa and Seah were made partners at their respective firms last year.
