In a recent strategic move, Reed Smith has expanded its Asia practice by acquiring a corporate trust team from Allen & Overy’s joint venture with Shearman & Sterling (A&O Shearman) in Singapore and Hong Kong. This team includes three lawyers: a partner, a counsel, and an associate. Tim Beech, formerly a partner and co-head of A&O Shearman’s Singapore office, is among those making the transition. Regina Lui, previously a counsel in Hong Kong, will join Reed Smith’s partnership ranks.
This acquisition is seen as a reinforcement of Reed Smith’s commitment to enhancing its services and offerings in the region’s corporate trust domain. The former team members of A&O Shearman bring a wealth of experience that is expected to bolster Reed Smith’s presence in the Asian legal market.
