Fang advises on cross-border M&As, joint ventures, private equity transactions and corporate and commercial law with a focus on Greater China and the Asia-Pacific region. She also negotiates shareholder agreements, share purchase agreements and business transfer agreements.

With Fang’s arrival, DLA now has 28 partners in Hong Kong.
