Eric Chow & Co, the Hong Kong association firm of the PRC’s Commerce & Finance Law Offices (Tongshang), has hired Frank Fu as a partner from A&O Shearman to establish its new investment funds practice.
Fu, who was a senior associate in the investment funds practice at A&O Shearman in Hong Kong, has over a decade of experience advising financial institutions and asset managers on fund structuring and formation across various asset classes.
With a practice focused on private equity funds, including blind pool, leveraged buyout, venture capital, infrastructure, real estate, and project funds, Fu also has experience with hedge funds, credit funds, and advising sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors on fund investments.
Prior to his four years at A&O Shearman and the pre-merger Shearman & Sterling, Fu held positions at Dechert and King & Wood Mallesons.
“Frank's arrival marks a strategic expansion of our capabilities in a high-demand area,” said Eric Chow, managing partner of Tongshang Hong Kong, in a statement. “His deep expertise in investment funds will enable us to offer comprehensive solutions to clients navigating increasingly complex fund structures and regulatory requirements in the region.”
With Fu's addition, Tongshang Hong Kong now comprises more than 20 lawyers.
