Newly- established Shanghai player SG&CO (融孚) has continued its post-merger expansion with the appointment of two lateral hires: Zhao Dongsheng (赵东升) and Shen Xinqi (沈新奇).  Zhao joins the firm from Comon Law Firm (凯曼律所) where he was a senior partner, while Shen was the former managing partner of Wanbang Lawyers (万邦律所). The appointments take the total number of partners at SG& Co to 21. 

Zhao’s practice focuses on private equality, mergers and acquisition, initial public offerings, general finance and restructuring. Shen specializes in the areas of corporate law, real estate, construction projects and dispute resolution.  

The appointments follow the hires of Qian Chen (钱晨) from Middla & Partners (德载中怡律所) and Xia Shanchen (夏善晨) from Zhongzi Law Office (中资律所), and Sun Changlin (孙昶林) from AllBright (锦天城律所).
