Adam Hornung

Adam was Hillhouse’s first external counsel at our founding. He joined Hillhouse in 2012 as our General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. Adam currently oversees a team of over 20 legal, compliance, and tax lawyers from across the globe. Previously, he practiced law in the United States, including for O'Melveny & Myers LLP. Adam holds a J.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, a B.A. from Doane College, and has been admitted to practice law in California and Nebraska.

Adam grew up in a small town of 500 people in central Nebraska and still owns cattle on his family’s ranch. Despite currently living in an apartment in Hong Kong, Adam’s young daughters are hard at work trying to convince him to get a pony as their next pet.
