Two senior restructuring lawyers are to leave O’Melveny & Myers’ office in Hong Kong; bringing the total number of departures from the firm’s Singapore and Hong Kong bases since December last year to 13.

Partner Damien Coles and counsel Bronwen May are understood to be joining Hogan Lovells, and are the latest in a string of O’Melveny legal staff and partners to exit the firm in Asia recently amid reports of frustrations among some teams.
