Zhang Wei of Vanke

Splitting his time between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Zhang Wei heads the legal department at Vanke, one of the leading real estate developers in China, acting as General Counsel since 2015. He is highlighted by market commentators for his excellent team-management skills, one interviewee reporting: “Vanke’s in-house work is highly professional on all counts.”

He has more than a decade’s experience working as in-house counsel for major Chinese companies in the finance and real estate sectors such as Legend Holdings and COFCO in the food processing industry.

During his career at Vanke, he has been involved in several stand-out matters in capital markets and M&A, including the widely-publicised sale of China Evergrande’s 14% stake in the company to Shenzhen Metro. In 2018, the company co-led an A-round financing for CMC Inc alongside IT giants Tencent and Alibaba, raising CNY10 billion, also leading a consortium of investors in the acquisition of 20 shopping malls from CapitaLand for USD1.29 billion.
