Led by the vastly experienced Kelly Austin, who now divides her time between Hong Kong and Denver, the globally integrated team at Gibson Dunn has an excellent reputation, primarily acting for US and European headquartered companies across a wide range of high-stakes white-collar and fraud matters (including FCPA, AML and securities violations) involving a nexus to Greater China and Asia Pacific. Drawing upon her private practice experience, which has included investigations and enforcement actions throughout APAC, as well as her tenure in-house at General Electric, Austin is a popular choice among corporates and financial institutions, not only to represent them in internal investigations and regulatory probes, but also in the context of regulatory compliance and advisory matters. Oliver Welch is also a key member of the team due to his broad expertise, which includes advising Asia-based entities on dealings with the US DOJ and SEC, anti-corruption due diligence pursuant to M&A work, and Korea-related work.
