Mishcon de Reya has established operations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai while securing authorization from Hong Kong regulators to practice as a solicitor firm, marking significant territorial expansion. Christopher Skipper will oversee the United Arab Emirates locations after joining from Greenberg Traurig, with the practice targeting corporate clients, family wealth managers, and individual patrons across sectors including dispute resolution, intellectual property and employment matters.

The Hong Kong certification arrives nearly four years after the firm began collaborating with local practice Karas So, an arrangement that will persist alongside the newly licensed operation led by managing partner Wei Zhang. Partner Jonathan Mok transfers from Karas So with his team to concentrate on wealth planning, immigration advisory, and family office services, while the associated firm continues handling litigation and arbitration under Jason Karas and Kevin So.

The expansion advances strategic priorities the firm outlined last month, emphasizing innovation sectors, private wealth management and international growth, with more than 60 legal professionals working across Singapore and Hong Kong operations.
