Mayer Brown, a Chicago-based law firm, is set to separate from its operations in Greater China, including approximately 170 lawyers across Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai, with the majority based in Hong Kong. This decision is influenced by ongoing U.S.-China tensions and an economic downturn in the region. The firm's Hong Kong partners plan to reestablish under the name Johnson Stokes & Master, the original Hong Kong-based entity that merged with Mayer Brown in 2008. This move marks Mayer Brown as the second high-profile legal firm to reduce its presence in China recently, following a similar decision by Dentons, the world's largest law firm.
