Hong Kong law firm Howse Williams has expanded after hiring insurance expert Gary Chow and corporate specialist William Wong as partners from Clyde & Co and Clifford Chance, respectively.

Chow, who was a counsel at Clyde, joined that firm in 2013 from local outfit Leung & Lau. Specialising in personal injury and insurance-related litigation, Chow acts for liability insurers with experience in defending personal injury claims involving work accidents, traffic accidents, occupiers' liability and medical malpractice.

Wong was previously a consultant at Clifford Chance, having joined that firm in 2014. He has experience in contentious regulatory work and financial services and commercial litigation, representing institutional and individual clients in investigations by regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong.
