Job description

INSOLVENCY PARTNER | HONG KONG | INTERNATIONAL LAW FIRM

Our client, a pre-eminent full service law firm is seeking a contentious insolvency partner to strengthen its disputes practice and deepen its capabilities across cross‑border restructuring and insolvency litigation. The role suits an experienced partner with an established contentious practice covering insolvency disputes, asset recovery, fraud, enforcement and related commercial litigation. Chinese language skills are helpful, particularly for regional mandates, but they are not essential.

A core part of this role is the opportunity to work closely with a high‑calibre corporate team in developing and marketing a joined‑up contentious and non‑contentious restructuring offering. The firm is investing in a cohesive platform that supports clients across the full business cycle, from advisory and transactional restructuring mandates through to major contentious matters. This is an ideal environment for a partner or team seeking room to grow, collaborate and shape the future direction of the practice.

The firm is looking for someone with strong relationships across key intermediaries, including insolvency practitioners, accountants, financial advisers and litigation funders. Candidates will bring a practice that complements the firms international disputes and corporate capabilities, together with the drive to build a market‑leading offering. In return, the role offers a stable platform, excellent cross‑selling opportunities, and genuine career mobility within a well‑resourced global firm.
