Clients praise King & Wood Mallesons for its ‘strong ability to solve comprehensive problems’. In July 2023, the firm launched a formal cooperation agreement with Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP; thanks to this cooperation, the compliance team has gained a large volume of merger filing work across multiple jurisdictions. Susan Ning leads the department from Beijing and recently represented BYD in a merger filing valued at around 2 billion USD. Also in Beijing, Tianjie Zhang supports the practice in advising a broad range of state-owned and international companies. Shanghai-based Zhifeng Chai has particular experience in representing multinational technology companies in SAMR investigations.
