Ropes & Gray has opened an office in Hong Kong – its third new office in eight months and its second in Asia. The new office will be headed by debt and private equity finance partner Alison Bomberg alongside Scott Jalowayski, a cross-border M&A and leveraged buy-out specialist. Jalowayski recently joined the firm from West Coast firm Morrison & Foerster. Ropes becomes the second Boston-based firm to open in Hong Kong alongside Bingham McCutchen, which launched an office there in January 2007.
