A four-member private equity team from Ropes & Gray, led by partner Daniel Yeh, has moved to White & Case in Hong Kong. 

All four join their new firm as partners, with Yeh being named head of private equity for Asia-Pacific.

Joining Yeh are Steven Sha, a former counsel at Ropes, and William Fong and Paul Tang, who were both associates at their previous firm.
