Shaohui Jiang, who most recently held the role of local partner at White & Case, joined Hogan Lovells in Hong Kong on June 11.
Jiang (pictured) brings with him two members on his existing team to the latter, boosting Hogan Lovells’ mergers and acquisition (M&A) practice in the greater China region, according to a June 11 press release.
A Hogan Lovells spokesperson told FinanceAsia that the hiring of Jiang is in line with the London and Washington DC co-headquartered law firm’s M&A strategy for greater China.
Jiang’s practice focuses on M&A; private equity (PE) investments; and project development and financing across sectors including energy, infrastructure, manufacturing and technology, the release said. His previous deal experiences were in markets including the US, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia Pacific (Apac) and the Middle East, representing public companies, private businesses, state entities and not-for-profit organisations.
“This move demonstrates Hogan Lovells' strong commitment to grow its M&A practice in greater China and reinforces Hogan Lovells' commitment to serve clients in the region, which remains a mainstay destination for M&A activity,” the spokesperson said to FinanceAsia.
“Shaohui’s experience adds significant depth to our M&A team in Apac and this move reinforces Hogan Lovells’ commitment to serve clients in the region, which remains a mainstay destination for M&A activity,” James Doyle, global head of the corporate and finance group at Hogan Lovells, commented in the press release.
Jiang shared in the release: “Hogan Lovells has demonstrated to me a strong commitment to grow its M&A practice in greater China. Its global, integrated network, as well as its sectoral focus on the energy and infrastructure in particular, provide the perfect platform to allow me to support my clients.”
