The Chinese firm Jingtian & Gongcheng is launching a disputes practice in Hong Kong with two senior lawyers from U.K. firm Reynolds Porter Chamberlain.
Partner Gary Yin and senior consultant Ben Yates will join Jingtian as partners on May 1; additional lawyers, including associate Rico Chan, will also make the move from RPC.* Yin will launch and lead the disputes practice at Jingtian's Hong Kong office, which has been focusing on Hong Kong listings and related compliance and transactions work.
Yin specialises in China-related commercial, international trade and shipping disputes. He joined RPC in 2012 as part of a four-partner disputes team from legacy Barlow Lyde & Gilbert that also included senior partner David Smyth and insurance partners Andrew Horton and Antony Sassi, to launch a Hong Kong office for the London-based firm.
