Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer partner William Woo is to rejoin his former firm Latham & Watkins just weeks after a seven-strong team, including his former colleagues, departed from the US outfit.
Woo, who is a Hong Kong-qualified corporate partner with experience working on major Hong Kong IPOs, first joined Latham & Watkins in 2008 from Allen & Overy, along with the magic circle firm’s Asia corporate chief Michael Liu, its China group head Kenneth Chan, and four other partners Jane Ng, Simon Berry, Stanley Chow and Cathy Yeung.
