Real estate partner Derek Roth has been relocated from Los Angeles to Hong Kong, and has been tasked with establishing an expansion strategy in India, Singapore and Korea. Roth said: “Although on the equity side, things are relatively slow, loan transactions and capital-raising are strong areas of practice. We are seeing more fund work and people getting funds off the ground and we anticipate big-ticket individual deals in the next six to 12 months.”
