大成律师事务所近日宣布其纽约分所正式开业，成为第一家进驻华尔街的中国律师事务所。纽约大成律师事务所选定的华尔街2号，华尔街入口标志性第一座大楼，与纽约证券交易所近在咫尺。新成立的纽约分所主要业务将涉及在美国的并购、私募、上市、证券、资产管理、知识产权以及国际贸易保护等相关诉讼。

负责筹建纽约大成律师事务所的高级合伙人肖金泉律师表示，在华尔街金融危机爆发两周年之际，纽约大成律师事务所的开业具有标志性意义：正是因为中国在金融危机后迅速复苏，令更多的中国企业走进华尔街，中美经济互动和互补带来巨大商机，使得大成挺进华尔街的步伐变得更为快速和坚定。

具有中美两国律师执照，现任大成资本市场团队负责人的董华春律师为纽约分所负责合伙人。

Dacheng, China's largest law firm by lawyer headcount, has officially joined its large PRC rivals King & Wood and Jun He in New York, opening its new branch on Wall Street last week.

"During the global financial crisis, more Chinese companies have marched into Wall Street and expanded in the US market. In the post-GFC era, the interaction and relation between China and the US will create even more opportunities for PRC businesses and law firms. The timing of the launch - on the second anniversary of the GFC - is of significance to us," said Dacheng's senior partner Xiao Jinquan, who is in charge of the preparation of the New York opening.

Just a short stroll to the New York Stock Exchange, Dacheng's Wall Street office will mainly focus on M&A, PE, listing, asset management, IP, international trade cases and dispute resolution. New York is Dacheng's second location in the US - the firm established a branch office in Los Angeles and entered into a strategic alliance with California firm Matthews Wilson and Hunter last June.

The newest addition to Dacheng's global network is headed by partner Dong Huachun, the current head of capital markets practice who is dual-qualified in New York and the PRC. Prior to joining Dacheng in January this year, Dong worked in the Division of Corporation Finance and Division of Enforcement of United Stated Securities & Exchange Commission for about two years, participating in investigations of listed companies who violated American securities laws and related rules.
