(Leading partners)Drawing upon ‘deep market knowledge’ gleaned over many years’ experience in the market, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP provides ‘an excellent work quality’ for a GP-focused client base establishing large pan-Asian buyout funds to smaller sector- or country-specific funds, including RMB-denominated funds. Praised for his ‘ability to break down complex problems into smaller bite sized pieces’, Gavin Anderson, who now splits his time between the firm’s Hong Kong and London, has, alongside vastly experienced of counsel Andrew Ostrognai, been instrumental in developing the firm’s high-calibre private equity offering which is adept at advising all aspects of fund formation, capital raising and closing. Anderson co-heads the team alongside Shawn Yang, who as well as his GP fund formation work is also regularly active on secondaries and select investor-side representations. Mai Shapiro rounds out the team and provides the relevant US tax advice pursuant to both fund formation and subsequent downstream activity.
