Eric Chow, managing partner of the firm’s Hong Kong office, said in a press release: “I am very delighted to welcome Shan to the firm. His recognised expertise in high yield matters together with his strong commercial approach, further enhance the continued growth of our DCM team.

He regularly advises on US securities law matters across both debt and equity capital markets, supporting clients on cross‑border transactions. He has also represented both underwriters and issuers in offshore convertible bond offerings and advised sponsors on Hong Kong IPO projects.
Before moving into private practice, Jiang spent nearly a decade at Sony Corporation on intellectual property licensing matters, serving the consumer electronics multinational in both Tokyo and New York.
He holds a dual professional background, having earned a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering in China and a Juris Doctor degree in the US.
