After making around 20 internal partner promotions this year, Zhong Lun Law Firm continues with its ambitious partnership growth. The firm has now taken on board two additional partners – Yao Pingping and He Wei – as lateral hires.
Yao, who is qualified to practise both in China and the US, joins Zhong Lun from BVI firm Harney Westwood & Riegels’ Hong Kong office where she was senior associate. She becomes partner in Zhong Lun’s newly established Hong Kong office. Her specialties include cross-border M&A, cross-border financing, PE funds and offshore listings. Prior to her practice at Harney Westwood, she practised in Singapore-based firm Colin Ng & Partners.
He Wei, who is also qualified to practise in China and the US, will be based in Zhong Lun’s Beijing headquarters. He was previously an associate in DLA Piper’s Beijing office and has also practised with Heller Ehrman (dissolved in September 2008) and Beijing Tian Yuan Law Firm. His practice areas include M&A, FDI, corporate restructurings and PE. ALB
