About

Provided by Simmons & Simmons LLP
Asia-Pacific

An international law firm that acts as your strategic business partner, offering opinion, not just option. Together we build smarter solutions.


Who we are

We’re a dynamic mix of brilliant minds. A firm where curiosity sparks transformative ideas. A team of lawyers, sector specialists, technologists, deal makers, legal engineers, data scientists and business service professionals pushing boundaries to shape the future of legal services.

Operating across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the US, we’re famous for our innovative approach, our dynamic and collaborative culture, and our commitment to delivering the highest quality service.

What makes us different is the strength of the relationships we cultivate with our clients. We build partnerships that are trusting, not transactional. We work alongside them, analysing their challenges through our unique lens of skill and experience.

We apply our expertise to four highly regulated sectors: asset management and investment funds, financial institutions, healthcare and life sciences and technology, media and telecommunications. Our specialist approach, combined with our deep legal knowledge, strategically positions us to help our clients navigate their most complex challenges.

But don’t just take our word for it. Collaborative, proactive and human: that’s how our clients describe us. A law firm that challenges, creates new possibilities and offers opinion, not just option.
