Hong Kong Office

To meet the growing business needs of our clients, Simpson Thacher has been active in Greater China, Korea and across Asia for nearly 30 years through our office in Hong Kong. The highly praised office offers one of the largest resident teams among U.S. law firms to leading Chinese and foreign companies. We advise on U.S., Hong Kong and English laws, and most of our Hong Kong lawyers are bilingual speakers of English and Mandarin Chinese, providing the necessary depth of local experience and appreciation of Chinese culture, customs and business practices.

“[Simpson Thacher] is our go-to firm because of their global reputation, history, knowledge and experience.”
– Chambers Asia-Pacific 2020 (quoting a client)

With nearly three decades of leadership in the Korean legal market, the Firm’s Hong Kong-based Korea Practice is a top choice among many clients for Korea-related transactions. We have amassed an impressive track record in Korea due to our proven excellence based on experience, quality client service, efficiency and effectiveness.

Coordinating with the Firm’s offices in Beijing, as well as Tokyo and our other offices worldwide, we are able to provide global reach in our advice on:

  • Cross-border mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures
  • Inbound and outbound investments
  • Capital markets, including IPOs and debt offerings
  • Private equity transactions
  • Private fund formation
