Hubert Tse, former head of international business at Shanghai firm Yuan Tai, has left the firm to join Boss & Young as a partner. Tse has been practising law in Shanghai since 2003 advising clients on cross-border M&A, PE/VC, capital markets, banking & finance and QDII/QFII matters.
Over the past few years, Tse has acted for a number of leading PRC fund management companies, such as ICBC-Credit Suisse Asset Management and China Southern Fund Management, on their Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) investment overseas. He has also advised on several formations of JV fund or asset management companies, including the JV between United Overseas Bank of Singapore and Ping An Securities. Last year, Tse advised DBS Private Equity on the formation of its US$100m onshore RMB fund based in Shanghai.
Prior to joining Yuan Tai, he served as an of counsel at Shanghai firm Chen & Co. Before coming to Shanghai in 2003, he worked for law firms and a Big 4 accounting firm in Sydney and Hong Kong.
Tse's arrival at Boss & Young will help the firm expand its business related to cross-border transactions. The firm's international practice was affected to a certain extent by the departure of founding partner Martin Hu in 2008. Hu has since established his own firm in Shanghai - Martin Hu & Partners.
