Cathy Yeung retired from the partnership in December 2024. She served as Chair of Latham & Watkins’ Greater China Practice and formerly served as Global Vice Chair of the firm‘s Capital Markets and Public Company Representation Practices. She advised on a full range of PRC-related corporate transactions.

Cathy draws on more than two decades of experience to advise leading investment banks and Chinese companies on the following types of corporate transactions:

- Capital markets, including initial public offerings and secondary offerings

- Mergers and acquisitions, including public M&A

- Privatizations

- Private equity

She also advised listed companies across a full range of industries on regulatory and compliance as well as corporate governance matters.

Cathy, a native mandarin speaker, was born and raised in China, and received her legal education in China and Hong Kong, so brought a strong understanding of Chinese culture and business practice to her work. She regularly led global teams of market leading-colleagues from across the firm to efficiently and seamlessly address Chinese clients’ needs.
