HayBoo Receives Approval for Shanghai Office

China’s Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has granted official approval to Haynes and Boone to establish a representative office in Shanghai.
The move would make sense as the firm already represents Asia-based companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Samsung, NEC, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and United Overseas Bank; and China-based clients Shanghai Press & Publishing Development and Bank of Communications.

“With California, Texas, New York, Mexico, and Brazil among the primary destinations for Asian investments, we will continue to see increasing legal work from Asian companies,” said firm managing partner Terry Conner in a statement. “This initial Haynes and Boone Asia office will serve the firm’s existing clients in cross-border matters in Asia and capitalize on existing and new client relationships for Greater China inbound matters to the Americas.”
