King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) has strengthened its New York capability with the appointment of Jun Kang, a U.S. tax expert, as a partner. The addition of Mr. Kang reflects the steady growth of the firm’s U.S. operation following the appointments of three partners last year, and together these appointments further enhance the firm’s on-the-ground offering and signify KWM’s long-term commitment to the U.S. market. With Mr. Kang on board, KWM currently has a total of eleven partners based at its two U.S. offices in New York and Silicon Valley, practicing in the areas of banking & finance, private investment funds, M&A, private equity, corporate governance, securities and capital markets, tax, dispute resolution, and intellectual property, and serving both U.S. and international clients. KWM’s U.S. offices have become an integral part in the firm’s effort of establishing a global platform with local expertise. More >>
