International law firm Fieldfisher has expanded its Chinese presence with the opening of an office in Shanghai. This is the second Fieldfisher office in China following its launch in Beijing in November 2016.
The new office is led by Liang Xing, a corporate partner specialising in antitrust and competition, focused primarily on the life sciences, technology and hotels & leisure sectors. Liang advises multinationals on all aspects of Chinese anti-monopoly law, as well as M&A and commercial transactions.
Liang (pictured) is joined by partner Rocky Wu, a dual qualified lawyer and patent agent, specialising in patent applications and litigation. Previously Wu was a partner at leading Chinese firm JT&N.
Fieldfisher China Partners Baoen Bai and Ming Zhang, and associate Jie Kong, have also relocated to the new office from Beijing.
Shanghai is becoming a truly global city and is home to numerous successful multinationals and is the financial hub of China.
«We've been working closely to ensure continued growth of the firm in China and the opening of a Shanghai office is a natural next step: cementing our Chinese presence and ensuring we are even better placed to serve both local and international clients,» said Michael Chissick, Fieldfisher's Managing Partner.
The Fieldfisher offices in China are comprised of internationally-focused lawyers who have experience of working at other international firms, working or studying abroad.
