Simmons & Simmons has snapped up the resident senior partner of Masons’ Hong Kong office and one other partner in its second raid on the firm in a month.

The hiring of senior partner Robert Lewington, an insurance specialist, and personal injury partner Wanda Tong, follows the recruitment last month of Masons’ Hong Kong property partner Winnie Lai.
The latest hires bring corporate-led Simmons’ Hong Kong office up to 14 partners, with 83 fee earners in total.
