🌈 Yesterday, our team came together for a charity bake sale in support of Pride Month and the fantastic Allsorts Youth Project. Allsorts is dedicated to listening to, connecting, and supporting children and young people under 26 who are exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, along with their families. We are proud to support such an impactful organisation that makes a real difference in the lives of LGBT+ youth and their families. Thank you to everyone in the team who baked, bought and donated - your efforts are helping foster a more inclusive and supportive world! 🍰🍪 #PrideMonth #CharityBakeSale #LGBTQSupport #Inclusion #Community

In the Asia market, Tokyo and Seoul have been busiest over the past month: Bird & Bird announced plans to launch in Tokyo, while Seoul saw eight major partner hires, including moves from top local firms like Yulchon, Yoon & Yang, and Shin & Kim. 🤝 Meanwhile, Hong Kong recorded four lateral hires and Singapore just three, indicating a potential market cooling. PRC law firms continue to dominate the China market with peer-to-peer hires and overseas expansions. There is still the occasional international firm making lateral investment though, with Pillsbury bringing in a senior partner from Paul Hastings and Duane Morris making an IP hire, both in Shanghai. Click through below for the full breakdown of the last month's activity in the Asia legal market, and stay tuned to our page for future updates. ⚖️✨ #LegalMarketUpdate #AsiaLegalNews #LawFirmMoves #LegalRecruitment
