Law firm Carey Olsen has opened a new office in Hong Kong, which has a dispute resolution and insolvency focus.
Partner Michael Makridakis (pictured) is relocating there from the firm's Cayman Islands office, where he established and led the dispute resolution and insolvency team. He has been with Carey Olsen since 2013.
The Hong Kong office will advise on contentious, semi-contentious and offshore advisory work. This will include domestic and international restructuring and insolvency, corporate and commercial disputes, banking and financial services litigation, trusts litigation as well as fraud, asset tracing and regulatory disputes.
Michael will continue to work alongside Carey Olsen's dispute resolution and insolvency practices in the British Virgin Islands and Cayman, as well as Guernsey and Jersey.
"Our Hong Kong office provides clients and referrers with access to offshore dispute resolution and insolvency specialists who are in the same time zone and who have a thorough understanding of the Asian market,” he said.
