Having already announced a double partner promotion in Hong Kong at the start of the year Slaughter and May today (23 July) announced that Hong Kong corporate associate Charlton Tse has been made up to partner, marking the tenth promotion of 2014 and the highest number since 2000.
Tse, who is Hong Kong and English law-qualified, has been tasked with developing the firm’s corporate and investment banking client relationships in both Hong Kong and China. His promotion follows Hong Kong capital markets lawyer Clara Choi and competition specialist Natalie Yeung. The Magic Circle firm also made up seven London-based associates in March.
