In a strategic move indicative of the growing significance of the Asian market, Jones Day has appointed Frank Voon as a corporate partner in its Hong Kong office. The law firm made this announcement earlier this week, emphasizing the expertise Voon brings in handling intricate, cross-border transactions. His focus spans several key sectors, including automotive, health care and life sciences, mining and energy, real estate, and technology.
Voon’s arrival from K&L Gates is anticipated to bolster Jones Day’s capabilities in advising multinational corporations and state-owned entities on their investments both into and out of Asia. His substantial experience in mergers and acquisitions, as well as private equity, is expected to be a valuable asset to the firm and its clients navigating the complex legal landscapes of these industries.
