Is the Chinese economy headed for a slowdown or will there be a quick recovery for the world’s second largest economy? Whatever the outcome, it seems like it is business as usual at legal adviser Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, which recently hired two lawyers, both at partner level, to further strengthen the firm’s capital markets and M&A/private equity capabilities in the region.

Seung Chong joins Orrick from Proskauer Rose, and has been appointed as a partner in the M&A and Private Equity Group. Chong, who has over 20 years of experience, is qualified to practice law in Hong Kong and England & Wales, and has advised on some of the landmark inbound and outbound transactions in recent years.

Orrick's M&A and Private Equity Group is led by well known lawyer Maurice Hoo and counts BOCI International, Mount Kellett Capital, PineBridge Investments, The Rohatyn Group and Warburg Pincus amongst its clients.

Orrick also announced the hiring of the former head of Global Capital Markets, Legal for Morgan Stanley Asia, Matthew Lewis, as a partner in the Capital Markets Group. Lewis, who speaks fluent Mandarin, has worked on a number of high profile capital markets deals, including the recent listings of AIA Group, Samsonite and Agricultural Bank of China.
