Foley & Lardner announced that it has filed an application to open an office in Shanghai. Catherine Sun, a partner from Weil, Gotshal & Manges’ Shanghai office, was hired to head Foley’s Shanghai office, assuming that it will be approved. The new office will focus on intellectual property, specifically IP counseling and dispute resolution. Clients will also need the firm’s help with IP asset management, licensing, and litigation. Joining Sun in Shanghai will be seven other Foley attorneys, including three Chinese nationals. The Shanghai office would be Foley’s second in Asia, following the Tokyo location that opened in 2003.
