Pang Lee has joined law firm Cooley as a partner in its Shanghai office. He previously was counsel in the asset management group of Shearman & Sterling's Hong Kong office.

Lee's practice is focused on the formation and operation of various private investment funds, including venture capital funds, buy-out funds and special situations funds. He regularly advises fund managers and fund investors on a range of investment management issues.

"Since opening our Shanghai office in 2011, Cooley's Asia fund formation practice has nearly doubled in terms of the volume of deals it handles," said Craig Dauchy, chair of the firm's global venture capital practice. "Pang's addition to our team furthers our growth trajectory in Asia. His fund formation acumen will enhance our overall capability to deliver our expertise to US and international clients alike."

Cooley claims to have organized more than $1.6 billion of Asia-based venture capital and private equity funds and has organized more than $30 billion in Asia-based funds since 1989. The firm serves as primary fund counsel to more than 250 investment fund organizations globally and has more than 750 lawyers across 11 offices in the United States and China.
