Carey Olsen has opened for business in Hong Kong as part of its network expansion in Asia. The Hong Kong practice has a dispute resolution and insolvency focus, with partner Michael Makridakis having relocated to Hong Kong from the firm’s Cayman Islands office, where he established and led its dispute resolution and insolvency team.

The opening of the Hong Kong office in November follows the successful launch of the firm’s Singapore office by lead Asia partner Linda Lee in October last year. Carey Olsen recently expanded its corporate legal practice in Singapore with the relocation of partner Anthony McKenzie from the firm’s Cayman office.
The new office in Hong Kong will advise on the full spectrum of contentious, semi-contentious and offshore advisory work, which will include domestic and international restructuring and insolvency, corporate and commercial disputes, banking and financial services litigation, and trusts litigation, as well as fraud, asset tracking and regulatory disputes.
“The growth in demand for offshore legal services in Asia has created a parallel demand for offshore litigation services and we have an increasing number of clients requiring advice in relation to disputes and insolvency matters in the region,” said Makridakis.
