Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP‘s diverse offering routinely assists with the full range of private equity mandates, including distressed M&A, spin-offs, and disposals. Following the departure of Tim Gardner in April 2024, Charles Ching has assumed leadership of the practice, dividing his time between Hong Kong and Shanghai. Chris Welty is noted for his broad knowledge, spanning leveraged and managed buyouts and minority investments, with a strong focus on take-private deals, and Sandy Lin handles a broad range of transactions across the TMT, energy, and manufacturing spaces, often assisting clients with cross-border M&A. Jie Yuan is particularly adept at advising private equity sponsors, and both public and private companies within on M&A and direct investments.
