One of the most active has been Shearman & Sterling, which has offices in Beijing and Hong Kong, and is now — under the direction of parnter Carmen Chang — in the process of procuring a license to open a Shanghai office. Chang joined Shearman in July, after 10 years at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. While happy at Wilson Sonsini, she says she moved because the nature of her China-focused corporate practice required a firm with offices in China.
At least 30 of her clients agreed, including longtime Wilson Sonsini client Google, which moved its China work to Chang’s new firm. Other Wilson clients, including UTStarcom Inc., and Fortinet Inc., moved all of their work to Shearman. (Wilson Sonsini, like several other “homegrown” Silicon Valley firms, has no offices in China.)
