After undergoing a 'localisation' process earlier this week – a process which will allow the Hong Kong office of Hogan & Hartson to practice Hong Kong law under the name Hogan & Hartson – the firm has unveiled a new-look management team to oversee its Greater China practice.
Jun Wei and Steven Robinson have been appointed as joint managing partners of the firm's Greater China operation and will be responsible for coordinating direction, strategic planning and practice development. As part of the management reshuffle, the firm has also appointed new office heads: Gordon Ng will become the managing partner of the firm's newly localised Hong Kong office while Man Chiu Lee is elevated to administrative partner. On the mainland, Roger Peng will lead the firm's Beijing office and Arthur Mok its Shanghai office.
Earlier this month, Mok and Lee acted for Beijing-based water treatment supplier, Duoyuan Global Water, on its US$88m NYSE listing - only the third listing of a PRC company on the NYSE this year (Changyou.com and Chemspec International were the first two).
