Charles Russell Speechlys has secured a team of lawyers from SF Lawyers, an affiliate practice of KPMG Legal based in Hong Kong, which is scheduled to terminate its operations by the end of the month.
This group is led by the founder and managing partner of SF Lawyers, Shirley Fu. She, along with three additional lawyers, will be transferring to Charles Russell Speechlys’ Hong Kong branch. This move follows the UK private client firm’s recent addition of a trio of partners from Butler Snow and King & Spalding’s Singapore offices.
Yet another illustration of the ebbs and flows within the legal industry’s labor market, this narrative not only underscores the volatility of affiliate practices but also the extent to which firms will go to secure experienced talent.
