We provide thoughtful, strategic guidance and a streamlined fundraising process that we have developed and refined through the closing of over 100 funds in the last decade.

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP

Paul, Weiss maintains a vibrant practice 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, we represent numerous Asian companies in connection with a broad range of international business ventures.

Paul, Weiss is a leader in almost every kind of transaction and in every sector 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. In 1983, we established a Hong Kong limited liability partnership. Three decades later, its team of multinational, Western-trained, Chinese speaking lawyers are led by a four-partner team who collectively are qualified in various jurisdictions around the world. The Paul, Weiss China practice is staffed principally by lawyers in the firm’s Beijing, Hong Kong and New York offices, with support from its Tokyo and Washington, DC, offices. The Beijing office, one of the first foreign law firms in China, has been a prominent member of Beijing’s legal community since opening in 1981. The Beijing and Hong Kong offices work as an integrated unit, with lawyers splitting time between the two locations. Where necessary, the firm works closely with qualified PRC counsel throughout China.
