The office is led by partner, Wai Yue Loh, who has moved from Ince’s Shanghai office, where he has been a resident lawyer since 2010. Wai Yue is supported by a multi-lingual team of lawyers providing commercial legal advice, and draws upon the expertise of lawyers in the firm’s international network of offices, particularly on cross border matters and commercial disputes.

“With many of our lawyers visiting Beijing regularly to work with our clients, I am delighted that we have now opened a permanent office in this major city. This new office boosts our ability to service our international clients’ needs in China and further develops our strong regional capability, ” Ince & Co’s senior partner James Wilson said.

“We are extremely pleased to expand our practice with our third office in Greater China. We look forward to building our presence in Beijing as we continue with our strategy of growth in the region, ” James adds.
