It has been another remarkably active few days across the region for senior moves, here is a brief roundup.
In Hong Kong the Australian bank ANZ Private Bank has recruited two experienced bankers to add to their Greater China business unit.
Johnny Wan joins as director as does Candy Tsang. Both have been working with UHNW clients across China.
Also in Hong Kong Chingyee Yau and Kevin Herbert have been appointed co-heads of global private banking, North Asia, HSBC Private Bank. Yau and Herbert have joint responsibility for the North Asia private banking business while Philip Wong has been appointed China Market Head, North Asia, HSBC Private Bank. He will report to Yau and Herbert.

On the legal front corporate partner Joseph Lee has left Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft’s Hong Kong office to rejoin UK firm Simmons & Simmons, where he had worked for seven years until 2007.
