Jingtian & Gongcheng ("Jingtian") is delighted to announce the addition of leading investment funds expert James Yong Wang to the firm.
James specialises in investment funds/asset management and PE/VC investment and financing. He worked at three leading international law firms in the U.S. (New York and Chicago) and China offices and one Chinese law firm for about 18 years and was among the very few Chinese who ever made equity partner in the U.S. headquarters of an international law firm.
James has been consistently recognized by many leading global legal directories and media such as Chambers, IFLR, Who's Who Legal, Legal 500, Asialaw Leading Lawyers, Asialaw Profiles, The Asian Lawyer, China Business Law Journal and LEGALBAND as leading authority on Investment Funds/Private Funds or Private Equity/Venture Capital (Tier 1). He was also named as market leader for investment funds in China by the London-based Legal Media Group's Global Expert Guides for Banking, Finance and Transactional Law each year for 2015-2019.
Zhao Yang, Chairman of Jingtian, remarked, "James is a leading authority on investment funds in China. He is known throughout the industry for his extensive experiences in both domestic and overseas legal markets and profound knowledge regarding both RMB and USD fund areas. The addition of James and his team will form strong synergies with Jingtian's traditional areas of strength such as domestic and overseas capital markets, PE/VC investment and financing, M&A, etc., and represents yet another strategic move of the firm following the recent expansion of our Hong Kong office. I am very much looking forward to it."
