史密夫前合伙人Patrick Zheng近日加入高伟绅。会多国语言的Patrick Zheng是诉讼和争议解决领域的专家。加入史密夫之前，他曾在中国经贸仲裁委员会工作8年。
Clifford Chance has hired Patrick Zheng as a partner in its litigation and dispute resolution practice. The multi-lingual Patrick joins the firm from Herbert Smith where he was also a partner in the firm’s disputes practice.
Prior to his time at Herbert Smith, Patrick worked at the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) between 1995 and 2003 before taking up the position of deputy director of legal at the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.
Martin Rogers, head of the firm’s litigation and disputes practice in Asia, said the appointment of Patrick is the missing piece in the firm’s Asia disputes puzzle. "The addition of Patrick to our L&DR practice in China completes a major part of our expansion plans," he said. "As corporate China continues to pursue overseas investments, there is a growing demand for litigation and arbitration advice. Already, the volume of disputes involving mainland Chinese firms has been increasing steadily over the past few years." ALB
