KWM, with origins in Australia and China, operates as a Swiss verein, which allows its international offices to function independently while sharing branding and strategy. Through this structure, Eversheds can provide clients with seamless access to legal services in mainland China, leveraging KWM’s strong domestic network.
This strategic pivot enables Eversheds Sutherland to focus on high-demand legal markets within Asia while leveraging partnerships to support client needs across the region. The firm’s streamlined approach underscores its ongoing commitment to Asia’s growth potential in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
