The firm has also expanded its China outbound practice with the appointment of Addy Herg as a partner. Herg joins effective immediately, while Kong returns on April 6, 2020.

A key focus of her practice is antitrust and competition law. On the other hand, Herg joins from Skrine.

His fluency in both English and Mandarin, and deep understanding of Chinese corporate and social culture, has helped him build a practice advising a host of Chinese corporations across a wide range of sectors.
