Beijing

Sullivan & Cromwell established its Beijing office in 1999 and was among the very first top-tier Wall Street firms to have an office in mainland China. Today, the Beijing office provides a critical in-country platform to serve our Chinese and multinational clients on a wide range of cross-border M&A and private equity transactions as well as securities offerings and other complex financing matters. Lawyers in the Beijing office work in close coordination with colleagues in the Hong Kong and other offices. Effectively leveraging the global expertise and resources of the firm, lawyers in the Beijing office often take the lead in managing multi-jurisdictional teams on transactions that have a China focus along with key assets, interested parties or regulatory aspects in the United States, Europe, the Middle East or elsewhere around the world. All of the lawyers based in the Beijing office have also been resident in the New York office, and several have also been resident in the Hong Kong office.  For additional details on the Beijing office, its practice and its lawyers, please see Beijing office.

The Beijing office is interested in hiring U.S.-trained practicing lawyers who have one to four years of experience in one or more of the following areas: M&A, securities, private equity and project finance. Mandarin language capability is essential. Applicants for associate positions must have a U.S. J.D. or a U.S. LL.M. degree.

A select number of summer associates will have the opportunity to work in the Beijing office for a period of six weeks or longer.
