The firm has 15 office outside of the US, all in Europe and Asia. Pascal Agboyibor, head of the Africa team which is also working on African matters, said: 'Where we decide to open remains subject to a set of criteria, including regulatory issues and client needs. We have strong practices in all of these countries, except Kenya which is a growing practice.' Source: Legal Week
