Vivian leads the antitrust practice of Lang Yue.
Vivian advises multinational and Chinese clients on the competition law regime in China and has extensive experience in transactional and compliance advisory work on Chinese merger control and behavioural antitrust investigation matters, covering a broad range of industry sectors. She has worked on a number of high-profile global transactions (with remedies) from the earliest stages of China antitrust enforcement.
