Broadfield Expands Global Presence with Hong Kong Office
Redefining Legal Excellence in Asia with a Vision for Global Impact
Broadfield, a transformative international law firm, proudly announces the opening of its Hong Kong office. This strategic expansion is aimed at strengthening Broadfield's global presence and underscores its commitment to delivering innovative, client-focused legal solutions worldwide.
The Hong Kong team reflects Broadfield's dedication to providing value-driven legal services tailored to meet the evolving business needs of the region. Services offered will initially focus on investment fund formation, private equity M&A, corporate advisory, and related turnaround services.
Partnering with Liu, Patrick Ling & Co. LLP (PLL)—a well-known local law firm—Broadfield plans to integrate PLL's invaluable local insights with its global platform. Patrick Liu, the founder of PLL, brings extensive experience from renowned international law firms.
Effie Vasilopoulos, a recognized authority on investment fund formation, will lead the Asia-Pacific operations for Broadfield. With a strong background that includes leadership roles on global executive committees, Vasilopoulos is well-equipped to helm this initiative.
Vasilopoulos articulates the firm's mission clearly: "We aim to create unparalleled value for our clients by aligning top legal talent with the right infrastructure and expertise. Our launch in Hong Kong marks a transformative milestone for the legal market in Asia." She expresses excitement about the future expansion plans in the region.
Broadfield Hong Kong will also benefit from the strategic support of SHP Legal Services, which specializes in technology and business strategy, equipping its lawyers to deliver exceptional service while embracing innovative approaches.
Chris Price, Managing Director and EMEA Lead at SHP Legal Services, emphasizes the significance of this launch: "The establishment of Broadfield HK highlights our commitment to empowering legal firms to navigate the challenges posed by globalization and evolving client needs. This is a key step toward transforming the legal services industry."
The initial services provided by Broadfield Hong Kong in collaboration with PLL will include investment fund formation, financial services regulation, and private equity M&A. Future offerings are set to expand into areas like commercial litigation and employment law.
Patrick Liu, the founding Hong Kong partner of PLL, shares, "Our collaboration with Broadfield enhances our capability to provide unmatched expertise in complex legal scenarios, reinforcing our commitment to clients in Asia."
The leadership core at Broadfield illustrates the firm's strong foundation:
- Effie Vasilopoulos, Managing Partner and Chair of the Executive Committee, Asia Pacific Region, known for her extensive background in investment fund formation.
- Patrick Liu, Founding Hong Kong Partner, PLL, recognized for his expertise in private fund matters and transactions.
- Huberta Chow, Partner at PLL, specializing in financial services regulatory matters and private fund formation.
John Hutchinson, Managing Partner of Broadfield UK, expresses optimism with this new development: "Launching Broadfield Hong Kong with PLL solidifies our position as a powerful entity in the legal sector, addressing globalization and the shifting expectations of clients. Together, we focus on delivering cutting-edge legal solutions."
The goal is to grow the Hong Kong team to 30 professionals, including 20 attorneys, by late summer. Broadfield is also eyeing further expansion across Asia within the next 12 to 18 months, merging local insights with global expertise.
Broadfield aims for expansive growth well into the year, extending its influence across Asia-Pacific, EMEA, and North America. This strategic growth plan is designed to solidify Broadfield as a global leader in innovative, client-centric legal solutions.
