Ropes & Gray has relocated James Lidbury, co-head of the firm’s global M&A practice, to Hong Kong in a move that strengthens the firm’s Asian corporate offering.
Prior to his relocation, Lidbury had headed the firm’s Chicago office since its launch more than five years ago.
Lidbury focuses on advising clients on M&A and private equity matters, including leveraged buyouts and take-private transactions.
Recently, he has worked with clients on their Asia deals, including advising a Blackstone-led consortium on its $680 million deal to take China’s Pactera Technology International private.
