King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) is the largest international commercial law firm based in the Asia-Pacific. It has 26 offices and over 3,000 legal professionals across Asia and North America.
Prior to KWM's current structure, its predecessor firms included SJ Berwin of the United Kingdom's "Silver Circle", Mallesons Stephen Jaques, one of the "Big Six" Australian law firms, and King & Wood, one of China's "Red Circle" law firms.
In December 2025, KMW announced that their Chinese and Australian partnership will come to an end on 31 March 2026, with the law firm reverting to the pre-merger brands of "King & Wood" and "Mallesons" for China and Australia respectively.
