Eversheds has set up a Far East desk in its Leeds office to meet the demands of northern English businesses for advice on Asia.
The desk is headed by Malay- and English-qualified senior associate, Sharon Needle, previously with Arthur Andersen’s Singapore firm Rajah & Tann.

Eversheds has non-exclusive referral ties with several Asian firms, such as litigation experts Shearne Delamere in Kuala Lumpur and Vivian Chan in Hong Kong.
