Latham & Watkins boosts Asia litigation practice with hire from Jones Day

Latham & Watkins has hired top insolvency and litigation partner Simon Powell from Jones Day's Hong Kong office. Powell, who is set to join the firm's Asia litigation practice, has extensive experience in complex commercial litigation cases and arbitration proceedings, with a particular focus in contentious insolvencies, securities and shareholder disputes, white collar and government investigations, and antitrust and competition matters. He says that stronger regulation in securities and antitrust law in Asia will lead to increased demand for litigation advice.
