继前Wilson Sonsini资深合伙人Don Williams加盟后，美国盛智律师事务所近日任命了Jenny Liu律师为其上海办公室公司业务部门特别顾问，旨在将强该所在北京的业务发展。刘律师曾在欧华律师事务所北京办公室工作了七年，主要为中国的新进公司提供关于经营许可，雇佣和公司改制合并等方面的法律咨询。

Following the appointment of new partner Don Williams from Wilson Sonsini, US firm Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton has added another member to its corporate practice in Shanghai. Jenny Liu, previously with DLA Piper's Beijing office for seven years, has joined the firm as a special counsel.

Liu represents Chinese emerging growth companies in a variety of issues ranging from licensing and employment to corporate restructuring and acquisitions. Her appointment is set to help expand the firm's network and presence in Beijing.

Sheppard Mullin opened its first overseas office in Shanghai in 2007. The office of 15 lawyers is currently managed by partner Todd Bissett, who joined the firm from O'Melveny & Myers last year. The firm's China strategy, according to Bisset, is to not only serve the needs of large clients but also focus on small-to-medium-sized foreign clients, whose legal needs are generally under-served in China.
