Morrison & Foerster, the international law firm that specialises in the financial services industry, has relocated one of its partners to Singapore as part of efforts to expand in the Asia-Pacific region.

Daniel Levison moves to the city-state after over 12 years serving the Tokyo office, bringing with him extensive experience in a range of compliance issues, including regulatory and product safety investigations, pre-acquisition and third-party anti-corruption due diligence and commercial litigation. He is known for his work on white-collar dispute resolution matters for clients across the ASEAN, China and Japan.

US-headquartered Morrison & Foerster opened its Singapore office in January 2013. Its other offices in Asia are located in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo.
