Andrew Lui has joined Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge (EAPD) as the third partner in its associated Hong Kong office, Lister Swartz.

Lui, who will join the business law department, comes to the firm from Andrew Lui & Company which had served as the local affiliate off French firm Salans. In 2008, Lui was handpicked from Pinsent Masons to open the firm's Hong Kong office – something which was achieved a year later in mid 2009.

Lister Swartz was opened in 2008 after the merger of two smaller Hong Kong law firms: Martin Lister and Swartz Solicitors.ALB
