Brian Ho to join Kirkland in August 2022
As a partner in its transactional practice, an ex-executive director of Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), Brian Ho, will join Kirkland & Ellis in August 2022
Ho took the responsibilities to manage takeovers and mergers regulations and listing policy matters at the SFC. Before retiring in August 2021, he was also a member of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited's Listing Nominating Committee.
In Hong Kong, Kirkland will have 32 partners with the addition of Ho. Since 2021, many professionals have left the firm like M&A partner Xiaoxi Lin to Linklaters, financial restructuring specialist Daniel Margulies to Dechert, corporate partner Michael D. Rackham to Latham & Watkins in Singapore and capital markets expert Li-Chien Wong to HKEx. The firm has also got Mengyu Lu from Sidley Austin.
