Howse Williams Bowers has hired family law expert Stacey Devoy and disputes lawyer Alison Scott as partners in Hong Kong.

 

Previously a partner at Withers in London and Hong Kong, Devoy advises clients on family law matters and handles multi-jurisdictional disputes involving substantial wealth, offshore assets or trust structures.

 

Scott joins Howse Williams Bowers from the United Kingdom, where she was working for Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals as a Tribunal Judge and the Welsh Assembly as a legally qualified chairperson.

 

The arrival of Devoy and Scott are the latest in a string of new additions to Howse Williams Bowers’ Hong Kong office. Last year, the firm hired disputes lawyer Andrew Kinnison from Holman Fenwick Willan in December, regulatory expert Jill Wong from King & Wood Mallesons in November, banking and finance partner Jonathan Silver from Norton Rose Fulbright in August, corporate finance partner Peter Bradley from Stephenson Harwood in March, and corporate partner Chia Ching Tan from Reed Smith Richards Butler in February.
