Hong Kong
| Sidley Austin is to have a new managing partner for the Asia Pacific region. Thomas W. Albrecht, a member of the firm’s management and executive committees, is relocating from Chicago to Hong Kong to assume responsibility for the firm’s practice in the region, which is currently spread across offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. Albrecht will take the reins from William O. Fifield, who has served as managing partner for the Greater China region since 2005 and who will continue in that capacity until the end of 2010 when he will return to the United States.
An accomplished finance lawyer, Albrecht has been with the firm for more than thirty years. Co-head of Sidley’s global structured finance and securitization practice, he has extensive experience in secured financings, structured finance transactions, restructurings, workouts and cross border financings and securitizations, and his varied clients include investment banks, commercial banks, multinational corporations and insurance companies. |
