The last of the Big Four to offer legal services from an Asian base, KPMG recently established an affiliated law firm in Hong Kong named SF Lawyers. Shirley Fu (principal of SF Lawyers), Stuart Fuller (head of KPMG Law in Australia & Asia-Pacific regional leader for legal services) and Lachlan Wolfers (head of Legal, KPMG China) were in Hong Kong to talk about how technology sets their offering apart from traditional law firms.

King & Wood Mallesons has hired capital markets lawyer Hao Zhou as a partner in Hong Kong, and has relocated two lawyers to New York to build on its funds offering in the U.S.
