Cooley recently announced it is opening a fourth Asian office in Singapore. Once approved by local authorities, Cooley will join some 130 foreign law firms in the city-state. The firm just opened a Hong Kong office in March.

Nobody is leaving Hong Kong right away over the protests, but people seem to be considering their options.
