Winston & Strawn has hired Khoon Jin (KJ) Tan as a partner in Hong Kong from rival U.S. firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.

Prior to his time at Wilson Sonsini, Tan served as the managing director of Macquarie Capital (Hong Kong). He earlier worked at the London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Jakarta, and Singapore offices of the legacy Herbert Smith.

Winston also recently relocated Steven Grimes from Chicago to Hong Kong as head of the firm’s Asia litigation practice.
