Clyde & Co CEO Peter Hasson said: "This is a proud and exciting day for us. The merger greatly extends and broadens the scope of our dispute resolution and insurance offering globally, particularly in emerging economies.

"Our practice in Asia now includes 90 lawyers across Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. The increased scale of the firm also offers broader choices and opportunities for the development and specialisation of our lawyers and staff.

"We are grateful to our clients for their support and to our staff for their ongoing focus and commitment as we continue to grow and diversify."
