The firm represents some of the world’s largest corporations and financial institutions in their most critical legal matters and most significant transactions, as well as clients needing pro bono assistance. Widely recognised for its leading corporate and litigation capabilities, the firm has developed equally strong practices in the areas of bankruptcy and corporate reorganisation, finance, employee benefits and executive compensation, intellectual property, personal representation, real estate and tax law.


Main Areas of Practice:

Paul, Weiss maintains a vibrant practice in Greater China, Japan and elsewhere in Asia, with offices in Beijing, Hong Kong and Tokyo and in-depth Asia-related experience in its New York, London and Washington, DC, offices. The firm represents major US and international financial institutions, technology, media and telecommunications companies, private equity funds, investment banks, consumer goods and other companies doing business in Asia. In addition, it represents numerous Asian companies in connection with a broad range of international business ventures.

Paul, Weiss is a market leader and a tone-setter in Greater China. We represent regional and international clients in corporate transactional matters involving auctions, outbound investments, mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital, foreign direct investments (including the establishment of joint ventures, wholly foreign-owned companies, holding companies and investment funds), capital markets, corporate, financings and project finance and restructurings.

In 1981, Paul, Weiss was one of the first foreign firms to establish an office in Beijing, and it has since been a prominent member of the Beijing’s legal community. In 1983, Paul, Weiss established a Hong Kong limited liability partnership. Our China practice team is led by three partners, and includes lawyers from our Beijing, Hong Kong and New York offices who are qualified in various jurisdictions around the world. The team also draws supports from our Tokyo, London and Washington, DC offices. The Beijing and Hong Kong offices work in tandem, with lawyers splitting time between the two locations. Where necessary, the firm works closely with qualified PRC counsels in China.
