[New Opportunities]
From investment in-and-out of China to the emerging market for RMB products to
successfully resolving cross-border disputes, King & Wood Mallesons is driven
by your needs and opportunities.
King & Wood Mallesons is
excited and passionate about the
opportunity to deliver a unique
East/West offering with a dominant
position in Financial Services,
Energy & Resources and China
Inbound & Outbound Investment.
Strength gained from combined
experience in the big, the
strategic and most complex work
in the region.
What this means for you will
depend on your business, your
industry and your priorities. For
some clients it will be simply
business as usual, with the client
focus that you’ve come to expect
from Australia’s leading full service
firm. For those with Asian ambitions
it means new strength and a new
choice where you need
it most.
What’s next
Both firms share a vision to create
a global legal network that’s
uniquely centred in Asia. But what
happens next depends on you. Our
history is shaped by moving with
our clients and their opportunities –
and it’s a big world out there.
