(New York, NY, October 28, 2025) Carter Ledyard is pleased to announce the launch of an expanded regional, cross-border group. The Asia-Pacific Cross Border Practice is a group of lawyers focused on assisting clients in the region with US inbound legal matters. After years of supporting clients in cross-border matters throughout the region and previously focused on Chinese companies, the steep increase in client requests for a broader regional scope motivated Firm leadership to expand the practice.
Further, the practice scope to Asia-Pacific clients offers a focus on Initial Public Offerings and Securities, specifically aimed at supporting the unique needs of clients from the region with U.S. inbound offerings.
Judith Wallace, managing partner, said "Our ability to deploy multidisciplinary legal services to clients around the world has enabled us to be successful with our other regional practices. Our service delivery model to international clients is uniquely positioned in a competitive marketplace." In addition, Pang Zhang-Whitaker and Chair of the Asia-Pacific Cross-Border Practice, added, "Where Carter Ledyard stands apart with our Asia-Pacific practice is that we have been working in the region supporting clients from throughout Asia with US inbound investment, capital markets, corporate structuring, M&A, real estate, IP, and HNW and family offices estate planning."
Several attorneys in the group are native Chinese speakers and have years of experience working in the Asia-Pacific business environment and are sensitive to the business culture, building a customized approach to the delivery of legal services.
