Morgan Lewis Closes Shenzhen Office Amid Leadership Changes

Morgan Lewis & Bockius has decided to shut down its office in Shenzhen less than two years after its establishment. The closure comes following the departure of Shaobin Zhu, the firm’s former Shenzhen head and intellectual property partner, who left Morgan Lewis in November to join DLA Piper in the U.S. Despite efforts, Morgan Lewis was unable to appoint a new leader for their Shenzhen operations, leading to the office’s closure. For more details on this development, read the initial report.
