With offices across Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, A&O Shearman assists clients with the full gamut of energy and resources mandates, including those relating to LNG, power, renewables and mining. The group is co-led by Yvonne Ho, a key point of contact for national and international banks and corporates seeking aid with cross-border energy projects and financings, Ling Li, best known for her work on cross-border M&A, joint ventures, and outbound investments in the energy and natural resources spaces, and Xiaogang (Sean) Wang, who is recommended for his project financing and development for major Chinese SOEs in the energy sector. Ho and Li are based in the Beijing office, while Wang splits his time across all three offices. The deep bench also fields Shanghai’s Matthew Bisley, who works with Chinese and international lenders and corporates on project development and financings, Benjamin Crawford, who handles a spread of corporate work relating to renewable energy, and Lucia He, who is recommended for cross-border M&A transactions.
