Former DLA Asia head Seddon joins Heller Ehrman

Heller Ehrman has hired former DLA Piper Asia head Nick Seddon to lead its four offices in the region as Asian managing partner. The move comes after Seddon relinquished his role at DLA Piper at the end of 2007 following a management shake out. Seddon, who will be based in Heller Ehrman's Hong Kong office, will be in charge of the firm's Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore offices.
