What the Team is Known For

Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer enjoys a superb reputation for handling a vast range of local and international litigation for blue-chip clients from the firm's office in Hong Kong. The firm is also well placed to serve high net worth individuals and is distinguished by the depth and experience of its bench of litigators, allowing the team to commit substantial resources to the largest and most complex cases. It is notably visible in litigation arising out of financial services litigation and shareholder disputes, as well as general commercial disagreements. Clients benefit from the firm's alternative legal services team based in Shanghai, which offers support on the review of Chinese language documents, as well as from its joint-operation local firm, Kewei.
