Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP

Leveraging its strong institutional corporate client base to good effect, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is particularly adept at advising large Chinese issuers from a range of sectors on their debt capital raising activity. As well as handling more commoditised investment grade work, a good deal of these instructions relate to high yield and convertible Rule 144A/Reg S bond offerings and are therefore often highly bespoke and involve complex structures. Jonathan Stone has been particularly active of late in relation to structuring these hybrid securities, including for Chinese technology giants, Trip.com and JD.com. Vincent Sze  has also been pivotal to this work and forms a key part of the team that is overseen by Stone and Edward Lam.
