Deloitte is actively recruiting lawyers for its affiliated Hong Kong law firm, approaching both local and international firms, including China’s Zhong Lun Law Firm.

Patrick Yip, Deloitte China’s vice chair, said the accounting giant has made offers to two Zhong Lun partners in Hong Kong to join J. E. Jamison & Co., a member law firm launched in January by Deloitte China’s general counsel James Jamison. One of the two partners has accepted the offer, according to Yip; he declined to name the partner, citing privacy concerns.
