At a time when international arbitration work is gaining importance, Eversheds Sutherland has recruited a former managing counsel of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) as a partner.

Wesley Pang, who starts with the firm in Hong Kong on Jan. 6, focuses his practice on international commercial and investor-state arbitrations. Pang joined the HKIAC in 2017 as managing counsel and was most recently senior legal counsel with the arbitral institution. Before that, he practised for nearly nine years with Shearman & Sterling’s international arbitration practice, spending time in the firm’s offices in London, New York and Paris.
