Eversheds launched its Beijing office on 20 May with the appointment of energy law expert Ingrid Zhu-Clark and corporate lawyer Jay Ze.
The Beijing office was granted a licence to practise late last year. Zhu-Clark will be managing partner.
“The Beijing office opening marks the next stage in our journey to create a truly global law firm servicing our clients in their key markets,” said Lee Ranson, Eversheds’ managing partner. “We are particularly excited by the expertise and depth these hires bring to our international energy and natural resources offering.”

Zhu-Clark was recruited from the Beijing office of US law firm Morgan Lewis, where she was co-managing partner, focused on the international oil and gas sector, in particular representing Chinese clients in outbound investment in Russia, Central Asia and Africa.
Ze practises cross-border M&A working with state-owned enterprises, global companies and investment banks, and will bolster the firm’s global M&A team as it develops inbound and outbound opportunities.
