Paul Hastings duo move to Pillsbury for Beijing launch

Two Mandarin-speaking partners specialising in corporate and securities law have moved from Paul Hastings to Pillsbury to open a Beijing office for their new firm.

Beijing: More problematic

Jenny Jia Sheng and David Livdahl are thought to be bringing three associates along with them to Pillsbury. Mr Livdahl was head of the Beijing office at Paul Hastings and is also a specialist in arbitration and other kinds of dispute resolution. James Rishwain, chair of Pillsbury, described the opening of the Beijing office as ‘an expression of the firm’s ongoing and consistent commitment to China’s growing role in the world economy’. The practice already has an office in Shanghai. Source: The Lawyer
