“We have a very strong presence in the technology and telecommunications space and Dalvin's appointment will continue to strengthen that.”

Mr Chien said he is excited for the opportunity to work with the firm and is committed to delivering excellent client service.

“The practice provides me an opportunity to expand my commercial practice while continuing to build on my technology expertise, which I will incorporate into the firm's overall commercial offering,” he said.

“I'm looking forward to working with the team to closely partner with our clients in navigating the increasingly complex and challenging environment in which they operate.

“I also look forward to contributing to the firm's continued growth and positive culture.”
