Law.com - Salans Gets Approval for Beijing Office Launch

Law.com - Salans Gets Approval for Beijing Office Launch
This article is illustrative of several trends that I have been highlighting in this blog since its inception. The first is the growing emphasis on the importance of having an office in a major Chinese city, such as Beijing or Shanghai. Another is the mobility of legal personnel, in one case upward mobility. Muller joined Salans from the Shanghai office of another firm, but only as an associate. Now, he heads Salans' Beijing office as a partner. Also note that Salans launched a Frankfurt office with the hire of a small group, including partners and associates, from another German law firm.
