International law firm Milbank LLP announced last September 30 that it has localised its practice into a Hong Kong law firm under the name “Milbank (Hong Kong) LLP”.
Milbank LLP has practiced in Hong Kong for many years as a registered foreign law firm providing advice on English and New York laws. As a foreign firm, Milbank LLP will cease to practice in Hong Kong, and a new firm, “Milbank (Hong Kong) LLP”, will commence practice as a Hong Kong firm of solicitors.
As a Hong Kong law firm, Milbank (Hong Kong) LLP will be able to broaden the scope of the services that it can offer to its clients, as it will not only be able to practice Hong Kong law, but will also continue to practice and advise on the laws of those other jurisdictions in which Milbank LLP currently practices.
Founded in New York over 150 years ago, Milbank LLP provides innovative legal services to clients around the world. It has offices in Beijing, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Munich, New York, São Paulo, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo and Washington, DC. Milbank’s lawyers collaborate across practices and offices to help the world’s leading commercial, financial and industrial enterprises, as well as institutions, individuals and governments, achieve their strategic objectives.
