US-based firm Dorsey & Whitney has opened an office in Sydney to service US clients in the Asia-Pacific region.
Working in conjunction with its two other Asia offices, in Shanghai and Hong Kong, the Sydney office will be headed by partner John Chrisman to serve companies and banks based in Asia. Commenting on the opening, the firm’s managing partner, Marianne Short, said the firm saw “favourable prospects” for work in the region.
“We look forward to building long-term relationships with banks, companies and law firms [in Sydney] who can use our US and capital markets expertise,” Chrisman said.
