Described as ‘experienced and technically astute’, the Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP practice stands out for its work on complex inbound and outbound cross-border M&A, divestitures, and joint ventures. The team frequently acts on behalf of Chinese and multinational companies across sectors ranging from TMT and consumer goods to finance and e-commerce. The group is co-headed by the trio of Jonathan Stone, Haiping Li, and Paloma Wang, with Li being based out of both Hong Kong and Shanghai, while predominantly specialising in major strategic partnerships and multi-jurisdictional investments. Also in Shanghai, Yuting Wu regularly acts for sovereign wealth funds, and Beijing’s Kai Sun and Yilin Xu concentrate on capital market matters and high-value listings. Shanghai-based Flora Lu is also a key name to note.
