Former Milbank partner Dieter Yih has re-joined prior colleagues and ex-King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) duo Larry Kwok and Conrad Chan in setting up a new boutique Hong Kong law firm.

The trio, whose outfit has been aptly named Kwok Yih & Chan, has also hired a further three associates from KWM; namely Leon Saw, who has joined the new firm as a partner, and Ignatius Seu and Vencci Ho, who have come on board as consultants.
