Hong Kong firm Oldham, Li & Nie has hired corporate and commercial lawyer Gary Lam as a partner from King & Wood Mallesons, where he was a counsel.

Lam has a focus on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and compliance-related matters. His clients include state-owned enterprises, public and private companies in Hong Kong and the PRC across a wide range of industry sectors.
