Clifford Chance

Clifford Chance continues to be a favoured option for international and regional fund managers thanks to its extensive institutional knowledge accumulated over years in the industry, and its capacity to leverage a wide array of resources regionally and worldwide via its global network of offices. The team remains best-known for its work in the alternatives market, with practice head Matthias Feldmann noted for his fund structuring work for managers focusing on hedge and private real estate strategies. Liyong Xing has expertise on China-focused funds across asset classes for both  established and emerging fund sponsors. As well as handling new money transactions, including on private equity and private credit strategies (for both sponsors and investors), Xing's work flow also includes a considerable amount of work addressing liquidity concerns and issues brought about by the poor economic climate, including secondaries transactions. Rocky Mui is also a key member of the team, not only for fund structuring but also for regulatory considerations, including as it relates to licensing.
