I am a corporate partner and the head of Cooley’s Asia capital markets practice. I represent issuers and global investment banks in US and Hong Kong capital market transactions. I also advises private equity funds and multinationals in their investments in the Greater China region, as well as Chinese companies in their cross-border M&A activities.
The deals I have worked on over the years have garnered a number of rankings and accolades including the “Best IPO of 2017” by FinanceAsia Magazine, “Equity Deal of the Year for 2017” at the IFLR Asia Awards in 2018, the largest technology IPO in Hong Kong in 2017, one of China Business Law Journal’s Deals of the Year in both 2016 and 2015 and one of Asian-MENA Counsel magazine’s Deals of the Year for 2015.
