The Allens team advising on this latest sale was led by corporate partner Emin Altiparmak and included Michelle Bennett, Managing Associate (Corporate); Annabelle Aland, Managing Associate (Real Estate); Julian Holland, Associate (Corporate); Joanne Pak, Lawyer (Corporate); Dougald Coulson, Lawyer (Real Estate).
Cooley appoints leading corporate partner in Beijing
Henry Yin has joined the business department of Cooley in Beijing from rival Kirkland & Ellis in Hong Kong.
Yin focuses his practice on mergers and acquisitions – including cross‐border and outbound investments – private equity, early and late-stage venture capital and growth investments, joint ventures, PIPEs, financings, going‐private transactions and other corporate matters associated with companies from the US, China and globally.
Mike Lincoln, Cooley’s global business department chair, hinted that there could be bigger things to come for Yin.
“Building out our Beijing presence is the firm’s latest step in finding next-generation leaders to continue our history of achievement across the Asia-Pacific region,” he said.
