Kirkland & Ellis has made a major Asia push with the recruitment of several top partners from the Hong Kong offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and Latham & Watkins.

Skadden confirms that Nicholas Norris and Dominic Tsun, the Hong Kong-based co-heads of the firm’s Asia corporate practice, have already resigned to join Kirkland. A third corporate partner, Li-Chien Wong, is also making the move.
