Linklaters on Tuesday announced the arrival of two new senior advisors to the firm’s Hong Kong office–Oliver Zhong from Sidley Austin and Christine Xu from Clifford Chance–a move it hopes will boost its presence in the equity capital markets and ‘New Economy’ fields in Hong Kong as well as the wider Asia Pacific region. 

Zhong spent 14 years at Sidley Austin, becoming partner in 2020, before joining Linklaters.
