Dispute resolution is a promising growth area for law firms in the Asia-Pacific region this year.

Launched in 1979, Simmons & Simmons’ Hong Kong office is staffed by more than 120 people, making it the firm’s biggest office in the Asia-Pacific. Last year, the London-headquartered firm delayed partner distributions and temporarily reduced pay by 20% in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
