DLA Piper has this week announced another addition to its Asia practice with the hire of Morrison & Foerster (Mofo) partner Melody He-Chen.

The Anglo-American firm, which last week ramped up in Singapore with three senior recruits, has brought on He-Chen in Hong Kong in a bid to enhance its China capital markets group.

DLA is in the process of rebuilding its Asia team following a string of exits in the last two years. It now has 29 partners in the Hong Kong office and five in Singapore. In Hong Kong, 10 of the team are corporate, and four of those capital markets partners.
