Dorsey & Whitney has hired Joe Sevack from Troutman Sanders as a corporate partner in the firm’s Hong Kong office.

Sevack focuses on M&A and banking and finance, and also advises both corporates and banks on debt and equity capital markets work, including high-yield bond issuances and IPOs.

Sevack had been a partner at Troutman Sanders’ Hong Kong office since joining the U.S. firm in 2010. Prior to that, he was a partner at Paul Hastings and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Hong Kong.

With the addition of Sevack, Dorsey & Whitney now has nine partners in its Hong Kong office.
