With Hui Xu at the helm, Latham & Watkins LLP serves a varied client base, from tech giants, e-commerce heavyweights, and gaming companies, to key investors into TMT sectors. Working closely with the firm’s Dubai and London offices, the group handles contentious and non-contentious mandates, with an emphasis on advising international sponsors and investors in relation to public listings and large M&A and PE deals. Benjamin Su counsels tech clients on cross-border corporate and US securities law matters, and Anthony Liu‘s practice spans commercial and regulatory work for a wide range of TMT clients, from established names to emerging disruptors. The team welcomed Eversheds Sutherland team head Rhys McWhirter in August 2025.
