Law firm White & Case has expanded its global capital markets practice with the addition of Margie Chan as a partner in Hong Kong.
“Continuing the growth of our capital markets practice in Asia-Pacific, where we have strong and ongoing client demand, is a strategic objective for White & Case,” says partner John Vetterli, head of the firm’s global capital markets practice. “Chan’s addition is a clear demonstration that further expansion of our role advising clients on capital markets offerings in the region is a priority for the firm.”
Chan’s practice focuses on high-yield debt offerings, private-placement issuances and liability management transactions governed by New York law, English law or Hong Kong law. She advises issuers and underwriters on high-yield issuances by issuers in the China real estate sector and a number of other sectors, and also advises on bank and bond transactions.
Chan brings more than 20 years of experience and joins White & Case from Norton Rose Fulbright, where she was a partner. Prior to joining Norton Rose Fulbright, Chan worked at the New York and Hong Kong offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell for 11 years.
“Chan’s addition continues our recent targeted expansion in key practices across Asia-Pacific as we pursue further growth in this important region,” says White & Chase partner Donald Baker, adding that her arrival follows recent hirings in Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney.
