Hong Kong Boutique GPS Strengthens Corporate Team with Addition of John Koh
Georgiou Payne Stewien (GPS), a Hong Kong boutique firm, has recruited its second partner in a few months, with corporate lawyer John Koh joining from FitzGerald Lawyers.
John Koh's addition to GPS comes shortly after disputes lawyer Kareena Teh joined the firm from EY member firm LC Lawyers.
John Koh is a former managing partner of Osborne Clarke's Hong Kong office. In 2014, he was recruited by that firm from Bird & Bird to launch its presence in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). After Osborne Clarke closed its Hong Kong office in 2020, Koh joined local firm FitzGerald.
With over two decades of experience, Koh provides counsel in various areas, including general corporate matters, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and foreign direct investment in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Additionally, he possesses particular expertise in the realm of commercial law within the digital business sector.
Koh's addition brings the total number of partners at GPS to six, joining the ranks of Phillip Georgiou, Sonny Payne, and Brett Stewien, who co-founded the firm back in 2017.
