The Hong Kong office of Reed Smith has hired debt capital markets specialist Vivian Ji as a partner. The firm now has 26 partners in Hong Kong.

Having 15 years of experience, Ji advises Hong Kong-listed companies and corporations in Mainland China on capital markets-related matters, including initial public offerings, bond issuance, and M&A and compliance.

The prominent cases handled by Ji include advising the local government financial vehicles from the People's Republic of China (PRC) on completing their offshore US dollar-denominated bond issuance.

Ji is Reed Smith's second lateral partner hire in Hong Kong in the past six months, with arbitration specialist Matthew Townsend joining from Fangda Partners in August last.

Ji has previously worked at AllBright Law Offices and various international law firms.
