Citing a growing demand, international law firm Dorsey & Whitney, has announced the establishment of a U.S.-China Practice Group.
The new dedicated unit will manage the firm’s increasing representation of Chinese clients doing business in the U.S. and other clients doing business with Chinese entities and individuals in the U.S.
The practice group, the firm said on its website, is multi-disciplinary and crosses industries, and its members come from Dorsey’s U.S. and worldwide offices, including those in New York, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, among others.
Banks to Family Offices
Dorsey’s U.S.- China Practice Group is led by New York-based partners Catherine Pan and Lanier Saperstein and Shanghai-based partner Peter Corne.
Dorsey represents some of China’s largest and most active corporations, including top financial institutions – such as banks and insurance companies – and private equity funds, as well as high net-worth individuals and family offices.
«We continue to experience a growing flow of legal work from Chinese companies as they further geographically diversify their businesses, assets and investments,» said Pan, who heads the U.S.-China transactional practice.
