The ranking highlights the “legal trailblazers who have demonstrated exceptional adaptability and strategic foresight in navigating the complexities of the current economic realm.”
As a leading lawyer in corporate M&A and financing in Greater China, Mr. Lin has advised clients in a variety of strategic cross-border transactions in the past year, including Hon Hai Precision Industry (Foxconn)’s investment agreement with German tier 1 automotive supplier ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited’s acquisition of German automotive sensor developer FIT Voltaira Group GmbH (FIT Voltaira, formerly known as Prettl SWH GmbH), and XPeng’s share purchase agreement and strategic partnership with DiDi Global.
In addition, Mr. Lin advised Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited and AcBel Polytech Inc. on acquiring strategic targets in Germany and the United States, respectively, where he assisted clients in completing their strategic transition. He also advised PharmaEssentia Corp. in completing the largest overseas offering by a Taiwanese biotech company in history and led the team on Taiwan Cement Corporation’s concurrent offering of $420 million currency-linked zero coupon green convertible bonds (Green CB) and $384 million global depositary shares (GDS), marking the largest concurrent CB and GDS transaction in Asia over the past two years. This is also the first equity-linked transaction by a Taiwanese company issued under a Green Financing Framework that adheres to international market standards.
