King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) has completed an overhaul of its pay structure in Hong Kong as part of the integration of its legacy King & Wood and Mallesons Stephen Jaques arms in the city.

The firm, which last month confirmed it will merge with the UK’s SJ Berwin as of 1 November this year, has aligned the way its pays salaries and bonuses to lawyers from the legacy Chinese and Australian arms of the firm in Hong Kong.
