Dentons has hired a former Ashurst lawyer as a partner in its Hong Kong office. The move appears to be part of a trend of law firms making personnel changes in Hong Kong, with several other firms also announcing new hires and additions. However, some reports suggest other firms, such as JunHe and Jingtian & Gongcheng, are making similar moves, while others, like Clyde & Co and Mayer, are also expanding their teams in the region.
