Cooley has recruited a second partner in Hong Kong as the firm expands its China capital markets practice.
Sidley Austin counsel Michael Yu will soon join the newly launched office. Hong Kong-qualified Yu advises on Chinese companies' Hong Kong listings and related transactions. Last year, he worked on Sidley's representation of Chinese maternity and child social media operator BabyTree Group's $218 million initial public offering.
Before joining Sidley as counsel in early 2018, Yu practised with Davis Polk & Wardwell in Hong Kong for four years. Earlier in his career, he was an associate with Clifford Chance in Hong Kong.
