The Hong Kong affiliate of the Big Four accounting firm EY has hired corporate partner Bonnie Yung from Paul Hastings – the latest in a series of partner hires that began last year.

Yung, who joins LC Lawyers after more than eight years at Paul Hastings, focuses on corporate finance, capital markets, merger and acquisition transactions, and regulatory compliance. In December, she was part of the team that advised China's Luzhou City Commercial Bank Co. Ltd., based in the southwestern province of Sichuan, on a $221 million initial public offering in Hong Kong. In 2017, Yung was part of the team that represented Zhongyuan Bank Co. Ltd., another Chinese bank, based in the central province of Henan, on a $1 billion Hong Kong listing.

Yung made partner at Paul Hastings in 2014. In her new job, she reunites with former capital markets associate Jason Wang, who left the Los Angeles-based firm to join LC Lawyers as a partner in January; he was also part of the team on Zhongyuan Bank's IPO.
