Commenting on their arrival, Ian Laing, head of Asia at Pinsent Masons said, “This news marks another important step in the development of our Chinese practice. There are strong links between Shanghai, our Munich office and our German Desk in London, especially given the strength of manufacturing in Germany and the importance of both Germany and Shanghai to our Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Services Sector. The arrival of the team also coincides with the firm’s launch in Paris, strengthening our ability to support European clients across Asia.”
