His experience includes cross-border M&A work, particularly China inbound and outbound investments. Lin also works on real estate, project and project finance matters, and has considerable experience in energy and infrastructure matters.
Simmons & Simmons currently has offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and expects to launch its Beijing office later this year. Lin will work with corporate partner Davis Wang in the new office.
