嘉源律师事务所近日迎来前谢尔曼思特灵律师事务所合伙人胡芷筠律师及团队正式加入其香港办公室工作。
多名成员将随胡律师一同加入嘉源,其中冯超逸、顾雯昕律师将以顾问律师的身份加入。
胡律师专注于资本市场领域并拥有18年的从业经验,所服务的客户覆盖医疗、大健康、技术传媒与通信(TMT)、新经济、自动驾驶、零售等各个领域。
胡律师自2022年起成为谢尔曼思特灵律师事务所合伙人,在该所与安理国际律师事务所合并前,胡律师是其主管香港资本市场业务的唯一合伙人。在重回谢尔曼思特灵之前,胡律师分别于凯易国际律师事务所与威尔逊‧桑西尼‧古奇‧罗沙迪律师事务所工作了两年。在此之前,她还曾在谢尔曼思特灵工作了7年。
据悉,胡律师是自今年 5 月A&O Shearman合并以来,第一位离开谢尔曼斯特灵香港办公室的合伙人。
她的离开正值 A&O Shearman 成功合并后的改革之际,上个月,该所刚宣布将计划削减 10% 的股权合伙人。
胡律师也并不是A&O Shearman近期损失的唯一一位专家,不久前,嘉源还成功吸纳了同样来自该所的基金领域合伙人齐华英律师。
Jia Yuan adds another Greater China partner from A&O Shearman
PRC law firm Jia Yuan Law Offices has strengthened its capital markets practice in Hong Kong after hiring partner Wanda Woo and her team from A&O Shearman.
Woo becomes Jia Yuan’s second partner hire from A&O Shearman in a week, after the arrival of Daisy Qi as senior partner and head of the investment funds practice in Shanghai.
Woo’s team includes A&O Shearman lawyers Feng Chaoyi and Gu Wenxin, who will be joining Jia Yuan as consultants.
Her departure comes following the successful merger between Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling, which last month announced plans to cut 10 percent cut of equity partners globally.
Woo has 18 years of experience working with clients in the healthcare, technology, media and communications (TMT), new economy, autonomous driving, and retail industries.
She rejoined Shearman & Sterling for her second stint in 2022 from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, prior to which she was a partner at Kirkland & Ellis.
According to Jia Yuan, Woo was the sole partner in charge of the Hong Kong capital markets practice at Shearman before the A&O merger was completed in May.
With the addition of Woo, Jia Yuan has four partners in Hong Kong.
