Hong Kong. Nixon Peabody CWL has added further depth to its Hong Kong Corporate team with the arrival of partners Gary Lam and Nicholas Cook, enhancing the firm’s capabilities in cross-border transactions, regulatory matters, and growth sector work across Asia Pacific.
Gary is an award-winning corporate and regulatory adviser with over two decades of experience. He has a strong track record advising PRC state-owned enterprises, listed and private companies on cross-border mergers and acquisitions, securities regulation, and complex transactions. He also advises private wealth and individual clients.
Nick brings 15 years of international experience in M&A, joint ventures, corporate structuring, and commercial transactions. He frequently advises multinational companies, family offices, and high-growth businesses, particularly in the technology, innovation, and digital sectors.
The arrival of the two partners builds on Nixon Peabody CWL’s strength in cross-border M&A, capital markets, corporate finance, and trusts, as well as its presence in the tech, fintech, and venture capital spaces.
“Gary and Nick add strong complementary capabilities to our existing Corporate platform,” said Cheng Hoo, senior partner at Nixon Peabody CWL. “As deal activity picks up and clients look for commercially focused, cross-border advice, their experience fits squarely within our firm's focus on delivering practical solutions in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.”
The expansion reflects Nixon Peabody CWL’s continued investment in Hong Kong as a strategic hub for clients navigating inbound and outbound opportunities across Asia.
