At least two partners from Latham & Watkins' Hong Kong corporate practice are leaving the firm amid a raft of changes to its Greater China team.
Former Hong Kong office managing partner and ex-Allen & Overy (A&O) Asia chief Michael Liu, alongside another Hong Kong corporate partner Jane Ng, are understood to be exiting for US rival Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft in the city. Both firms declined to comment.
Latham currently has just five partners dedicated to Hong Kong work; which also includes finance partner Howard Lam who joined from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in January, PRC-focused partner Kenneth Chan and Hong Kong corporate head Cathy Cheung, who is also co-chair of the Greater China group.
