Bing’s practice focuses on sophisticated cross-border transactions involving Asia and especially China, with an emphasis on energy, mergers and acquisitions, foreign direct investment, and personal information protection.

Bing Maisog is the Chief Representative of the firm’s office in Beijing. He is a member of the firm's Corporate practice team, and has also worked as a member of the Energy and Infrastructure team. Prior to the establishment of the Beijing office, he was resident in both Bangkok and Hong Kong, and worked on significant project finance and project acquisition transactions in many countries across Asia. In the past, he has also worked as a corporate finance lawyer, with experience in initial public offerings, private placements, and financial institution merger and acquisition transactions.

Since arriving in China in 2005, Bing has expanded his focus to include personal information protection matters in the Chinese and regional contexts, foreign direct investment and mergers and acquisitions. His broad range of international transactional experience and his U.S. lawyer’s perspective, coupled with his knowledge of China and the Chinese language, make him a China transactional advisor of exceptional background.
