Meanwhile, the Latham team included Singapore partners Sharon Lau, Michael Sturrock, and Timothy Hia; Washington partner Damara Chambers; Brussels partner Luca Crocco; Frankfurt partner Max Hauser; London partner Sarah Gadd, Quentin Gwyer, Paul Davies and Karl Mah; New York partner Jane Greyf; Paris partner Charles-Antoine Guelluy; and Orange County partner Christopher Norton.
