Latham & Watkins has hired capital markets expert Ji Liu from Norton Rose Fulbright as a partner in its corporate department.
Liu’s practice focuses on U.S. domestic and cross-border capital markets transactions, representing issuers and underwriters on IPOs, secondary offerings, Rule 144A/Regulation S offerings and high yield bonds, as well as representing companies on compliance matters under U.S. federal securities laws.
