The law firms of Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP and Watson & Band announced an alliance to best serve those clients of either firm having business matters between the United States and China.
“We are pleased to work collaboratively with the attorneys at Watson & Band to serve the global business needs of our respective clients,” said Mark D. Wasserman, Managing Partner of Sutherland. “In recent years, China’s growth as an economic and manufacturing power has meant that many of Sutherland’s clients have expanded (or will be expanding) their businesses into China. Likewise, an increasing number of Chinese businesses are moving their operations into the United States. This working alliance between Sutherland and Watson & Band gives both law firms ready access to a range of services as our respective clients’ global needs grow.”
Sutherland Asbill & Brennan handles matters throughout the United States and worldwide. They focus on seven major practice areas—corporate, financial services, energy and environmental, intellectual property, litigation, real estate, and tax.
Watson & Band is a Shanghai-based firm with its offices in Beijing, Harbin, Wuxi, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. The firm focuses its practice in the areas of intellectual property, corporate and commercial, litigation and arbitration, representing a mix of both domestic and international clients.
