In the first half of 2022, Han Kun Law Offices launched a new office in Haikou, merged with a local Shanghai boutique and hired partners from firms like Kirkland & Ellis, Fangda Partners, King & Wood Mallesons and Tian Yuan Law Firm.
Han Kun’s latest coup is Fangda’s intellectual property partner, Song Haining, who has joined the firm in Shanghai. Notably, Song is the third IP partner to leave Fangda this year. King & Wood Mallesons took a team of IP litigation experts from the firm in Beijing last month, including veteran partner Gordon Gao and partner Sherry Yao.
