Zhong Lun has secured the services of high-profile lawyer Yongjun Peter Ni to develop its tax practice. Ni, who joins Zhong Lun as head of the firm’s tax group, comes from White & Case where was most recently head of the US firm’s greater China tax practice.
Ni boasts over 15 years experience in the tax sector and has advised a number of MNCs and Chinese companies on the tax implications of their cross-border investments, market entry and exit strategies, investment structuring and restructuring, M&A, financing, and commercial disputes.
A graduate of Harvard and NYU schools of law, Ni is dual US and PRC-admitted.
The appointment of Ni is yet another coup for Zhong Lun. Earlier this month the firm pulled off another equally high-profile lateral hire after luring former Allbright and Lovells partner Robert Lewis to its Shanghai office as international managing partner. ALB
