Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft has confirmed today the hire of the bulk of Latham & Watkins’ Hong Kong-qualified corporate team, led by two partners, who will join its Greater China practice in Hong Kong.

Last month, Legal Week revealed that former Latham & Watkins Hong Kong manging partner Michael Liu and another corporate partner Jane Ng were leaving the firm for Cadwalader. Liu was previously the Asia chief for magic circle firm Allen & Overy.
