Orrick exits HK market

US law firm Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe has shut its Hong Kong office after its strategy of growing a technology and innovation practice in the city did not pan out.

The firm said it would wind down its operations by 31 August 2020, after its office lease expired, but would continue “investing in other markets in China and Asia in a manner that more directly advances our strategy”. The Hong Kong practice comprised four partners and seven lawyers and trainees.
