YK Law welcomes a new partner, Ian Liao

YK Law LLP announced that seasoned corporate attorney Ian Liao had joined the firm as a partner and co-chair of the firm’s Corporate and M&A practice. Mr. Liao will split his time between the Los Angeles and Irvine offices of the firm.

Mr. Liao has substantial experience in M&A, venture capital, private equity, technology and other corporate transactions. He has advised many venture capital funds and high-tech companies (including start-up and pre-IPO companies) in investment and fundraising transactions.  Mr. Liao has also represented leading multinational companies in complex mergers, asset acquisitions and divestitures, joint ventures and equity purchase transactions involving various industry sectors (including manufacturing, television and media, special materials, medical devices and internet/e-commerce).  He often works with the management teams of leading multinational companies on tech and commercial matters involving their US and overseas operations; as well as advising them on cross-border technology licensing and intellectual property enforcement matters. Mr. Liao has advised clients on cross-border transactions involving the Greater China region since 1998 and continues to do so today.

“I am very excited about joining YK Law and the opportunity to work with our team to develop the firm’s corporate and M&A practice.  I am particularly excited about establishing the firm’s presence in Orange County, California as this is a high growth region of California, especially in the medical technology and device space.  Companies and people in Southern California have historically had close ties with China. I believe that by leveraging the resources and coverage of Beijing Yingke Law Firm, our firm will be in a great position to help our clients navigate the current U.S.-China landscape and to advise them on cross-border transactions.” said Mr. Liao.

“It’s our great honor to have Ian onboard,” said Henry Li, the managing partner of YK Law. “Being a corporate and transaction attorney myself, I know Mr. Liao’s professionalism and skills are top among his peers.

I’m sure Ian will help us attract the best attorneys in the market and build a strong corporate practice group.”

Linda Yang, the global partner of Beijing Yingke Law Firm and the founding partner of Yingke International said, “I’m excited to have Ian as our senior foreign legal counsel. His legal skills, project management experience, and reputation will be very helpful to our practice in China. We will provide him with our full support to build a top-level China-U.S. transaction team based in both the Greater China region and the U.S.”
