Liberty GTS promotes former DLA lawyer into APAC role

Liberty Global Transaction Solutions (Liberty GTS) has unveiled a former DLA lawyer as its new Regional Manager, Asia Pacific (APAC).

Geoffrey Lee (pictured) will report to William Lewis, head of Asia Pacific for  Liberty GTS. Lee is a qualified solicitor specializing in corporate M&A, having previously established his legal career with DLA Piper in Sydney and in London.

Lee has been with the  Liberty GTS team since 2014. He was initially based in Sydney before being seconded to Hong Kong in 2016 to expand its business in North Asia. Following his secondment, he returned to Australia in 2019 to manage the Australia and New Zealand region. During this period he also continued to underwrite a broad portfolio of M&A risks, with a focus on China and Hong Kong.

Lee will now take on a broader role, managing the Asia Pacific region for  Liberty GTS. Geoffrey will primarily look to align our regional appetite and our regional go to market strategy.

William Lewis, Head of Asia Pacific for  Liberty GTS, said: “Geoffrey has the ideal skill-set to take on a wider role across the Asia Pacific region, given his knowledge and understanding of multiple M&A environments in Asia Pacific. It is great to be able to promote someone who has grown and developed within our team for the last eight years, and I look forward to continuing to work with him as he takes on this new challenge of this broader role.”
