Liu will focus on cross-border M&A, private equity and venture capital, and foreign direct investment into China. She has previously represented major private equity funds in a variety of investments and going-private transactions in the Greater China region.
Jay Chiu, currently a counsel in Goodwin's litigation department and a member of the intellectual property group in Los Angeles, is also joining the Hong Kong office.
