And within this business strategy, Hong Kong clearly plays a crucial role. “Hong Kong is very much the centre of our network,” Flinn says. “As one of the biggest law firms in Hong Kong, we very much want to drive things like the GBA connection with Japan, Southeast Asia and the world through our Hong Kong office, so the city is certainly the connecting pivotal point of our network.”
To date, KWM has over 550 legal professionals in the GBA, which includes offices in Zhuhai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Flinn explains: “This has been a deliberate and focused area for us. It was very much a strategic decision, based around seeing the importance that the central government is placing on the GBA, and making sure that we can follow those policy directives while looking after our clients in the region.”
