Hong Kong firm Oldham, Li & Nie has hired corporate and commercial lawyer Gary Lam as a partner from King & Wood Mallesons, where he was a counsel.

Lam has a focus on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and compliance-related matters. His clients include state-owned enterprises, public and private companies in Hong Kong and the PRC across a wide range of industry sectors.

Prior to joining KWM, Lam spent more than 13 years at Reed Smith after leaving PRC firm JunHe.

Gordon Oldham, senior partner at OLN, said in a statement that Lam’s addition will “undoubtedly further solidify” the firm’s position in the legal market and bolster its capabilities in corporate, M&A and compliance-related strategic areas.

OLN, with strong offerings in dispute resolutions, tax advisory and family law, now boasts 16 partners and 40 lawyers in total.
