On October 23, 2023, Asian Legal Business (ALB) announced its 2023 ALB China Regional Ranking: Yangtze River Delta Firms and Rising Lawyers. W88优德官方网站 was recognized in the rankings and W88优德官方网站 partner CHEN, Yan was named among the Yangtze River Delta Rising Lawyers.

The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region has witnessed the flourishing of the Chinese economy and has grown to be one of China’s most active, open and innovative regions. Keeping abreast of the times, W88优德官方网站 took the initiative to open an office in Shanghai, and in 2019 expanded its presence to Hangzhou, the top new first-tier city. The establishment of the Hangzhou office has improved the firm’s coverage in the YRD region. W88优德官方网站’s Shanghai and Hangzhou offices share resources under the firm’s integrated management framework and are committed to providing high-quality legal services to clients in the YRD region, China and the world. In recent years, W88优德官方网站’s Shanghai and Hangzhou offices have made great achievements. The Shanghai office leverages its port location advantage to provide services not only in the local market, but also in the national and global markets. The Hangzhou office provides professional legal services to its clients by utilizing its local expertise and strengthening inter-regional collaboration. In April, the Hangzhou office was named the 2022 Excellent Law Firm by the Justice Bureau of Hangzhou Hi-Tech Zone (Binjiang), an official recognition that reflects true market feedback.

W88优德官方网站 partner  CHEN, Yan focuses on the capital markets, including PE investment, fund formation, debt, restructuring and IPOs. She advises public and private companies on a wide range of matters, including mergers and acquisitions, outbound investment, foreign direct investment, corporate governance and compliance. Transactions that Ms. Chen has advised on have been highly  recognized. For example, ByteDance’s USD 1.4 billion acquisition of Amcare was named among the 2022 Deals of the Year by China Business Law Journal; the 2022 acquisition of the controlling interest of Wagas by Advent International and the offshore issuance of USD bonds by China Great Wall AMC (International) Holdings Co., Ltd. were named the M&A Deal of the Year and nominated for the Debt Market Deal of the Year, respectively, at the ALB China Law Awards 2023.

With respect to the acquisition transaction and the operation and management of the target company, she is able to propose practical and creative solutions based on our needs to address our pain points.
