Work Highlights

Provided by Chambers

  • DLA Piper advised Howden Insurance Brokers (HK) on its acquisition of Storfield Insurance Consultants.

Strengths

Provided by Chambers

  • The firm’s style and succinctness. It’s very hard to find someone who can negotiate in English, translate to a Chinese executive and make him feel like a local. It gives us a very unique advantage.
