UK law firm Stephenson Harwood has appointed Fan Yang as a partner in Hong Kong from King & Wood Mallesons where she was a consultant.

Yang’s appointment comes after a series of exits from Stephenson Harwood this year. In July, the firm lost its entire Hong Kong trusts and estates team to Loeb & Loeb while, in November, Voon Keat Lai, managing partner for Greater China, and partner Ivy Wong left the firm to join local boutique MB Kemp.

Yang’s practice areas include international commercial and investment arbitration, commercial and investment disputes arising from joint ventures, shareholders agreements, sale and purchase of shares, sale of goods, etc.

With the addition of Yang, Stephenson Harwood currently has 25 partners in Hong Kong.
