For the last two decades, Yang has advised clients on joint ventures, strategic alliances, IP law and foreign direct investments into India for clients like Huawei Technologies, Adidas India and ZTE Corporation.
“We are delighted to welcome Yang to the firm,” said Lexygen founding partner Vijay Sambamurthi. “Yang is a highly experienced and respected Indian lawyer and I have no doubt that he will add tremendous value to our firm and to our clients in the region.”
Describing Lexygen as a firm with “a dynamic team” that shows “a high degree of professionalism”, Yang said: “I anticipate a good synergy between India and [other] Asian countries in terms of business and investments through Singapore.”
