Stephenson Harwood has boosted its international private wealth offering with the hire of Wei Kang as a partner in Hong Kong from DLA Piper, where she was an of counsel.

Kang’s hire comes after the firm’s Hong Kong office lost private wealth partners Ian Devereux and Silvia On to Charles Russell Speechlys, earlier this year.

Kang advises clients on international estate and asset protection planning, the Canadian tax and corporate aspects of private wealth structures, and the development of family governance structures.

Following the hire of Kang, Stephenson Harwood now has 24 partners in Hong Kong.
