DLA Piper has boosted its Asia presence with two appointments for the firm's Hong Kong base, including a new head of finance.
Matthew Glynn, DLA's head of intellectual property and technology (IPT) for the Middle East, South Asia and Africa, has seen his role extended to cover the whole of the Asia region. He is set to relocate from Dubai to Hong Kong, with his new role effective immediately.
In addition, Paul Lee joined DLA's Hong Kong base earlier this month from Li & Partners as head of finance and projects. He has been a partner at the Hong Kong firm since 2009, prior to which he was head of banking in Herbert Smith's local office.
Glynn said: "With one of the largest teams of IPT lawyers in Asia and the Middle East, DLA Piper has the right expertise to help its clients capture the wealth of opportunities in these fast-emerging markets, where IT and telecommunications markets are growing in terms of both size and importance in the world stage."
DLA Asia managing partner Alastair Da Costa said: "Asia has played an important role for many multinational companies with its resilience in recent years, and continues to promise tremendous potential. This is reflected in the 21% rise of DLA Piper's Asia revenue in 2009."
The news comes after news emerged in July that intellectual property partners Gigi Cheah and Justin Davidson are set to leave DLA's Hong Kong base to join Norton Rose's office in the region.
