Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani is pleased to announce the formation of its Asia Pacific and London Market practice groups, expanding its offerings for foreign companies with legal needs in North America. These new practice groups are designed to meet the growing demand for legal services from companies in Asia and the London Market operating or seeking to do business in the United States.
The Asia Pacific practice group, led by partner Philip Lo, provides practical solutions and comprehensive legal services for Asia Pacific entities entering or expanding their presence in North America, as well as for American companies navigating business opportunities in Asia. The group includes attorneys fluent in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, many of whom have firsthand experience living and working in the Asia Pacific region. This linguistic and cultural proficiency ensures that clients receive personalized, effective legal representation that addresses their needs and business goals.
“We are committed to delivering exceptional representation for Asia Pacific clients operating in the U.S., as well as for American clients with language preferences,” said Lo. “Our ability to provide services in the language and cultural context our clients prefer is key to our success in these markets.”
The Asia Pacific practice group serves a wide range of industry sectors, including technology, manufacturing, retail, energy, intellectual property, construction, and hospitality. The team assists clients with cross-border dispute resolution, corporate structuring, intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance, and international business transactions focused on U.S. operations and legal requirements.
The London Market practice group, led by partners Craig Jacobson, Scott Schmookler, and Michael Thompson, serves the unique needs of London-based insurers, reinsurers, cover holders, and brokers operating in North America. With extensive experience in both the London Market and U.S. legal systems, the group provides targeted support for a range of insurance and reinsurance matters. By leveraging GRSM’s 50-state platform, the team offers localized defense and insurance expertise across the U.S.
“Our deep understanding of the London Market, combined with our extensive U.S. network, allows us to deliver exceptional legal support to London-based clients managing complex insurance matters in North America,” said Jacobson, Co-Chair of the London Market practice group. “This synergy ensures efficient, effective solutions for claims management, policy drafting, and litigation.”
The London Market practice group handles claims across various policy forms, including property, cyber, marine, energy, professional liability, and more. Services include insurance defense, coverage, claim monitoring, and trial representation—all within the U.S. legal framework.
As the only full-service U.S. law firm with offices in all 50 states, GRSM is uniquely positioned to provide Asia Pacific and London Market clients with direct and efficient support for their North American operations. This expansion underscores the firm's commitment to delivering comprehensive, high-quality legal services to businesses worldwide seeking to navigate the U.S. legal landscape.
