Clifford Chance has announced plans to relocate Matthew Newick, its London-based head of banking litigation, to Hong Kong.

The move comes less than two months after Martin Rogers, the former head of Clifford Chance’s Asia Pacific disputes practice and co-head of its regional financial regulatory practice, and litigation partner James Wadham announced they would be leaving to join U.S. firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, for whom they will launch a Hong Kong litigation practice.
