Salans, the international law firm with offices across 18 cities worldwide, and which recently announced a major development program in China, today announces a further key appointment in the region. Andrew Lui, the former head of Pinsent Mason’s corporate practice in China, is joining Salans as a partner to run its Hong Kong operation, through an association with Andrew Lui & Co.

Andrew Lui has worked in Hong Kong and Mainland China for more than a decade in the fields of M&A, public offerings and private equity work. His client focus is on investment banks, venture capitalists and listed companies in both Hong Kong and the PRC. Andrew speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and English.

John Flanigan, co-managing partner of Salans China region said “This appointment is indicative of the investment we are making to build our China practice. We are fortunate to add someone with the background and calibre of Andrew to run our team in Hong Kong.”

Andrew Lui says: “It was essential for Salans to be present in one of Asia’s leading financial hubs. The challenge of building a new gateway into China is extremely compelling from a personal and professional stand point.”
