In Hong Kong, the firm has named Junko Shiokawa as an investment funds and corporate associate as the firm seeks to develop its Japan practice.

His practice includes all aspects of corporate and commercial law, with a focus on mutual funds, shipping and aircraft registration.

Conyers has also hired Sophia Greaves into its Bermuda office where she will practise corporate law. She was formerly a commercial risk and reinsurance associate at Barlow Lyde & Gilbert in London.
