A former corporate partner in K&L Gates’s Hong Kong office is being sued by the firm after being arrested on charges of theft and forgery over the transfer of funds to a casino company in Macau, reports the Am Law Daily.

Navin Kumar Aggarwal, who ceased to be a partner at K&L Gates on 11 June, is accused of stealing roughly $2m (£1.2m) from the accounts of RIM China and moving the funds to Wynn International Marketing last year.
