Sullivan & Cromwell has been shortlisted in the “Innovative Lawyers Unlocking Capital” category by the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Asia-Pacific Awards in recognition of its work advising OwlTing on its landmark direct listing on the Nasdaq Global Market—the first direct listing in the United States by an Asia-based fintech company.
The FT report celebrates the best examples of lawyers using influence and creative problem solving to guide clients towards agile, sustainable outcomes and reinforce the rule of law and ethical business practices.
The Sullivan & Cromwell team was led by Ching-Yang Lin, whose long-standing focus on digital infrastructure across Asia and deep experience advising leading semiconductor and digital infrastructure companies were central to the matter. His representations have included Wiwynn, Winbond, Wistron and one of the world’s leading dedicated independent semiconductor foundries.
This recognition underscores Mr. Lin’s ability to pair sophisticated capital markets execution with a nuanced understanding of digital infrastructure business models in Asia. He regularly serves as a trusted adviser to many of the region’s most advanced technology companies on their most complex cross-border transactions.
