Jenny Liu and Xudong Ni join the legal practice's Beijing and Shanghai offices, and Sin Kiu Ng and Kam W. Law have joined the Hong Kong office. Liu, Ni and Sin are corporate lawyers and Law is an intellectual property and patent attorney.

The appointments build on Squire Sanders' base of 124 lawyers in the Asia Pacific region and follow the arrival of partners Mao Tong and Peter Chow in Hong Kong and Ignatius Hwang, who joined the global legal practice to launch an office in Singapore, which opened earlier this month.

Cleveland-based Squire Sanders has also recently applied to the Korean Ministry of Justice to open an office in Seoul, Korea.
