A&O Shearman

Lauded by some as the ‘top firm in banking and finance’, A&O Shearman fields one of the broadest financial services practices in the market across all sub-product types. Through its combination of extensive office network, the team enjoys close relationships with major Chinese banks, and its American offices also mark it as a popular choice to advise multinational financial institutions. The sizeable practice is headed up by Roger Lui, who shines in complex financings in Hong Kong, the PRC, and elsewhere in the APAC region. Vicki Liu, a co-head of the firm’s global banking practice, has experience in a broad range of banking and finance transactions. The group also includes Cindy Lo, whose practice has a particular focus on acquisition and structured financing with a PRC element and Patrick Wong, a fund financings expert who frequently advises a broad mix of international banks. Other key figures in the team include newly promoted to partner Daniel Tan and associate Welber Yim, both of whom focus on cross-border financing transactions.
