Deloitte is actively recruiting lawyers for its affiliated Hong Kong law firm, approaching both local and international firms, including China’s Zhong Lun Law Firm.

Patrick Yip, Deloitte China’s vice-chair, said the accounting giant has made offers to two Zhong Lun partners in Hong Kong to join J. E. Jamison & Co, a member law firm launched in January by Deloitte China’s general counsel James Jamison. One of the two partners has accepted the offer, according to Yip; he declined to name the partner, citing privacy concerns.
