Sidley Austin

Sidley Austin's involvement for Chinese real estate issuers in many of the highest-profile offshore high-yield offerings in recent years has subsequently led to a considerable amount of restructuring and liability management exercises as that sector has been impacted by a raft of economic headwinds. The ‘phenomenal’ Renee Xiong has been at the heart of much of this work, including acting alongside the firm’s acclaimed London restructuring team on a number of distressed situations. As well as also being involved in a number of real estate-related restructuring/liability management scenarios, Carrie Li has also handled new bond issuances in other sectors, including her work for the lead managers in relation to China Cinda Asset Management’s issuance of FTZ bonds. Singapore based Matthew Sheridan heads up the overarching Asia capital markets offering.
