Up and Coming

Chen Xinxing is based in the firm’s Hong Kong office where she assists multinational sponsors and corporates on divestments, and control deals as well as growth capital investments.

She is very hands-on in daily work and communications, and highly creative and commercial when finding solutions.

Xinxing is a bulldog when it comes to negotiations.

I was highly impressed. She not only provided us with detailed legal expertise but, more importantly, she offered constructive feedback from the perspective of a private equity deal.
