CMS’s Hong Kong associate firm has recruited a group of seven insurance lawyers, led by partners Andrew Horton and Steven Wise, from British firm Reynolds Porter Chamberlain.

The team joins Shirley Lau & Co, which was launched by former Troutman Sanders corporate partner Shirley Lau and entered into an association with CMS in May, following a decision by the Am Law 100 firm to close its three offices in Asia.
