Walkers are moving two of its Bermudian associates, Shannon Dyer and Ben Green to the firm's Hong Kong office in October.
Dyer is a senior associate in the Bermuda insolvency and dispute resolution practice where he specialises in insurance and reinsurance disputes, regulatory disputes and investigations, and general commercial litigation and arbitration.
Before joining Walkers, he was legal counsel at Bermuda's financial regulator, the Bermuda Monetary Authority, within the policy, legal, and enforcement departments.
Green is an associate in the Bermuda finance and corporate team. He has experience advising lenders about financing transactions, including in the shipping and aircraft space.
Dyer commented: "Walkers has one of the largest offshore insolvency and dispute resolution teams globally and I look forward to providing Bermuda law advice in real time to the benefit of our Asian clients."
Green states: "Being based in the same time-zone as our Asian clients is a real advantage and a great opportunity to promote Bermuda legal services in the region generally."
Kevin Taylor, managing partner of Walkers Bermuda, said: "We are delighted to be able to offer Shannon Dyer and Ben Green the opportunity to live and work in a city like Hong Kong.”
Andy Randall, managing partner of Walkers Hong Kong, added: "We regularly second associates to our offices around the globe. Our strategy has always been to listen to our clients and their needs, then exceed them.”
