Withers Powers Up Asian Dispute Resolution with Strategic Additions in Asia

International law firm Withers has announced the strategic expansion of its Hong Kong dispute resolution practice through the recruitment of Special Counsel Gary Leung and the promotion of Alex Ye to the position of Special Counsel to enhance the firm’s Asian dispute resolution practice.

“Leung brings an impressive track record that aligns with our global arbitration and litigation practice. The firm and team are also delighted by Ye’s promotion to special counsel. He has played an integral role in the firm’s many successes over the years,” Joseph Chu, partner and regional divisional leader for APAC’s litigation and arbitration team, said.

Leung's arrival strengthens Withers' dispute resolution capabilities with his expertise in complex commercial, financial, and insolvency litigation. He possesses proficiency in domestic and international arbitration, along with extensive experience in handling contentious regulatory matters. Moreover, his prior years as a barrister, appearing in all levels of court in Hong Kong and before arbitral tribunals, contribute significantly to his ability to navigate complex disputes effectively.

“Leung’s arrival and Ye’s well-deserved promotion strongly enhance our ability to service our clients’ dispute resolution needs worldwide, with a particular focus in Hong Kong and the APAC region. We have further strengthened our dispute resolution capabilities and reinforced our commitment to Hong Kong as a leading seat for resolving commercial disputes, whether it be in arbitration or litigation,” Sherlin Tung, a partner in Withers’ litigation and arbitration team, said.
