Former Stephenson Harwood Greater China head Lai Voon Keat joined M.B. KEMP, a Hong Kong-based boutique law firm, as its managing partner in November.
“These days, most international law firms are very similar, whether in their approaches or their cultures,” Lai told China Business Law Journal. “We aim to create a nimble, adaptable international practice, which bridges the East and West.”
M.B. KEMP was founded by two former partners of Stephenson Harwood, Malcolm Kemp, the former head of litigation and financial services practice in Hong Kong, and Yeeling Wan, a litigator who specialises in insolvency, commercial litigation and labour law. The firm focuses on dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, restructuring and capital markets.
