Hoping to leverage its expertise in some premium niche markets, Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell has launched a Hong Kong office with a former DLA Piper partner. Brad Markoff, a REIT and capital markets attorney, has joined Locke Lord to head up the new office.
Hong Kong will be the first Asia office for the 650-lawyer Houston-based firm, which has 11 offices across the United States and one in London. “Our Hong Kong office expands Locke Lord’s footprint across Asia and also fulfills one of our strategic goals for smart growth,” firm Chairman Jerry Clements said in a statement announcing the new office.
