Galaxy GC joins Proskauer Rose in Hong Kong

Proskauer Rose has announced that Jim Chapman will join the firm as a partner in its lodging and gaming practice group.

Before joining Proskauer, Chapman was the general counsel of Galaxy Entertainment Group, one of Asia’s leading gaming and entertainment companies. Chapman has been involved in some of the most high-profile gaming, hotel and resort development transactions in the region, including the 44-hectare mixed-use Galaxy Macau project currently underway in Cotai, Macau. Chapman was also previously a partner at JSM.

The addition of Chapman will mean the firm now has four partners (including office managing partner Yuval Tal) and one associate (Sara Shen) on the ground in Hong Kong.
