The firm’s joint operation with FenXun Partners also gives the firm the ability to provide representation before the arbitration commission and people’s courts. The experienced Jonathan Isaacs, who splits his work between the Shanghai and Hong Kong offices, heads up the team. He is supported by post-transactional employment specialist Joseph Yue and associate Olivia Wu. Restructuring and strike actions expert Zheng Lu, now registered with FenXun, works very closely with the Baker McKenzie team.
