Deheng raids US firm for international chief

Qingdao-headquartered Deheng Law Firm has welcomed Liu Jiqing, former resident partner and chief representative of Baker & Daniels Beijing representative office, to lead its international team.

Liu is the first foreign lawyer to be hired by Deheng, and is licensed to practise in Washington, Michigan and Indiana. He will be based in the Beijing office and plans to start a new IP team. Deheng plans to move its headquarters from Qingdao to Beijing in a series of staged transitions.
