Law firm Sidley Austin has hired Joseph Chan in its Shanghai office as a partner.
Chan’s practice encompasses the full life cycle of private equity funds, from offshore and RMB fund formation and portfolio investments to M&A and capital markets.
He has represented strategic buyers, funds, portfolio companies and investment banks in a variety of financings and acquisitions.
“I am delighted to join Sidley, a firm with a mature and market-leading platform in Greater China. Sidley offers a compelling strategic fit to my practice and the clients I serve,” Chan says.
“Sidley already has well-recognised practices in investment funds, Hong Kong IPOs and debt capital markets, and the addition of Joseph to our team will considerably strengthen those practices in Greater China, especially our Shanghai office,” says Thomas W. Albrecht, managing partner for Sidley’s Asia Pacific offices. “Our clients are expanding their presence and investment in China. We anticipate that our funds clients will remain active in fund formation, acquisitions and exit strategies in the years to come. Joseph’s addition enhances our ability to serve those clients.”
Chan is fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese Chinese.
