Hogan Lovells has entered into a strategic alliance with Xiamen-headquartered Fujian Fidelity Law Firm in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.

Partners Andrew McGinty and Zhen (Katie) Feng will handle the Fidelity tie-up for Hogan Lovells, and they are expected to promote the joint services from both firms to clients. With the addition of this new association, Hogan Lovells now has 10 offices in Asia. 

Established in 1989, Fidelity has around 170 lawyers and focuses on corporate M&A, insolvency and liquidation, financial securities, real estate and construction, and arbitration and litigation work. 

This formal alliance comes after Holman Fenwick Willian partnered with Wintell & Co in April and Baker & McKenzie teamed up with FenXun Partners in 2015.
