Islanders flock to Charlottetown Flea Market for affordable finds amid rising costs | SaltWire - U.S. law firm Mayer Brown said on Thursday that it plans to separate from its current Hong Kong operations, as many international law firms rethink or reduce their presence in China.
Mayer Brown has roughly 170 lawyers in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai, with the majority in Hong Kong, according to its website. Its chair Jon Van Gorp said in a statement that the firm's new partnership will allow Mayer Brown"to continue its presence in Hong Kong with a practice that aligns with our strategic priorities."
