Dechert has hired disputes lawyer Kareena Teh from Baker & McKenzie as a litigation partner in Hong Kong.

Teh advises clients on corporate and commercial litigation, including liability claims, insolvency matters and insurance-related disputes. She also assists clients on corruption, cross-border fraud and money laundering investigations.

The arrival of Teh comes just after Dechert announced that the firm’s Asia litigation head, David Chu, is departing for Proskauer’s Hong Kong office.
