Tang will be based in the firm’s Hong Kong office, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, the firm said in a statement. 

Tang will advise corporate, credit fund, private equity and financial institution clients on a broad range of restructuring and financing matters. As a strategist for distressed situations in China and elsewhere in Asia, Tang has experience of navigating complex, cross-border debt restructurings and liability management transactions.  She also has broad experience in debt capital markets, including high-yield bond offerings in the US and Hong Kong. 

Welcoming Tang's appointment, Robert Giuffra and Scott Miller, co-chairs of Sullivan & Cromwell, said: “She is a versatile and highly respected restructuring and capital markets lawyer, with deep knowledge of the Asian credit and restructuring markets. With her experience in both Hong Kong and New York, her addition will allow us to build on the strengths of our lawyers in the Asia-Pacific region and globally.” 

“Cross-border finance and restructuring are key areas for our clients,” Kay Ian Ng, managing partner of the firm’s Hong Kong office, added. “We recently welcomed back to the region our partners, Chris Beatty, who is focusing on private credit transactions across Asia from his base in Sydney, and Michael DeSombre, who is focusing on M&A and strategic transactions, primarily in Korea and Southeast Asia,” he said.
