WilmerHale to Close Beijing Office Amid U.S. Law Firm Withdrawals in China

Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr is set to close its office in Beijing, becoming the twelfth U.S. law firm to withdraw from Greater China in the past 18 months. This move marks a significant shift as it will leave the firm without any presence in Asia. The closure, anticipated by the end of November, aligns with a trend among U.S. law firms reassessing their operations in the region.

Currently, Wilmer operates with two corporate partners and two associates in its Beijing office. For more details on this development, you can read the article on Law.com.
