Asia-Pacific
We assist clients on matters in China, Japan, and Korea as well as advise Chinese, Japanese, and Korean companies doing business globally and in the United States through our subsidiary, McLarty Inbound.
John Holden leads our China practice, after spending more than 25 years doing business on the ground in Greater China. Our Japan and Korea work in Washington, DC is led by Thomas C. Hubbard, a former ambassador to South Korea with 40 years of diplomatic experience managing relations with Korea and Japan; and Christopher LaFleur, based in Tokyo, has served in top diplomatic positions dealing with Japan, including as Deputy Chief of Mission in Tokyo.

With former ambassadors to every market of consequence in East Asia, and resources on the ground in Beijing, Singapore, and four other Asian markets, we offer our clients in-depth local and regional coverage throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
