Mayer Brown appoints Hannah Ha as Asia chair

This month, US-headquartered law firm, Mayer Brown, announced the ascent of Hong Kong-based partner, Hannah Ha, to chair its Asia board.

The appointment marks Ha’s contribution to the firm, where she has worked for the past 17 and a half years and has served as partner within its corporate and securities practice, since 2006. The announcement coincides with the company’s 160th anniversary in the special administrative region SAR and follows Ha’s recent addition to its eight-member global management committee.

As a member of the firm's regional board, Ha succeeds Duncan Abate, who remains a partner within the law firm’s Asian Employment and Benefits practice.
