Firm touted in Chambers Asia 2010
June 2010
Troutman Sanders and several of its attorneys received top rankings in Chambers and Partners’
Chambers Asia 2010.
In the guide, the firm received significant praise for its Hong Kong, Shanghai and Greater China Practice teams’ legal capabilities and service within China, Asia and throughout the world.
Among the things Chambers wrote about the firm:
“The firm continues to develop its profile in the PRC, as well as advising major private equity funds on their investments into the country, also acts for a range of Fortune 500 companies on their inbound work and, increasingly, Chinese corporates on their overseas acquisitions. Clients speak of ‘excellent attention to detail and a well-rounded consideration of the client's circumstances when giving advice’ as key qualities on offer here. Edward Epstein is the managing partner of the Shanghai office, and offers clients the benefit of many years of experience in China. He is able to advise on a wide range of matters, including M&A, foreign direct investment (FDI) and real estate transactions.”
“The firm's Hong Kong and Shanghai offices offer clients solid expertise on their investments in China. A policy of continued expansion in Greater China has benefited this practice, which acts for a number of major private equity houses, as well as many mid-sized investors and targets. The firm represented The Carlyle Group in its USD50 million investment in the Beijing-based Hao Yue Education Group. Olivia Lee, who led the team's work on the deal, remains [a] key figure here. Her expertise on inbound deals into the PRC is highly praised by international clients.”
“Market sources note the rising profile of this US firm, especially in trademark prosecution. ‘It is a well-managed team of efficient communicators,’ according to interviewees.”
