Cooley hires two in Shanghai office

Both of them will join the company's business and technology practice group and work closely with partners Brad Peck and Patrick Loofbourrow, who founded Cooley's Shanghai office last year.

Zhang previously worked for Johnson Controls, where she served as vice president and Asia Pacific general counsel of its Power Solutions business. Zhang has nearly 19 years of legal experience both in the United States and China, since she began practicing law with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in 1993.

Qiu was a senior counsel and fund director at Innovation Works, an investment fund and start-up incubator for Chinese companies focused on mobile computing, e-commerce and cloud computing sectors. Prior to that, he worked as an attorney with Lovells in China.

"We are committed to establishing and expanding our practice in China with the hiring of talented local attorneys," said Brad Peck, the partner in charge of Cooley's Shanghai office. "Moving forward, each of them will be integral to powering Cooley's growth in China and we are thrilled to welcome them to the firm."
