Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman acquired Thelen's 20-attorney China practice, which includes partners based in Shanghai, Washington DC and San Francisco.
The practice consists of corporate and securities groups. It will concentrate on foreign direct investment clients based in the US and Europe that do business in China and will represent small to medium-sized companies in China through reverse mergers and alternative public offerings.
Tom Shoesmith will act as the new managing partner of the firm's Shanghai office.
