“We are excited to continue our international expansion, particularly with respect to our energy capabilities,” chairman Francis M. Milone with Morgan Lewis said. “Ingrid and her team – paired with new colleagues soon to join us in Russia and Central Asia, our dynamic office in London, and our market-leading energy practice in the US – will be a terrific combination to serve our clients’ needs across the globe.”

Zhu-Clark brings a particular expertise in energy transactions for the oil and gas industry.  Her client list includes energy companies from throughout the world.

A speaker of English, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, German and Russian, Zhu-Clark is licensed to practice law in the U.S. and China.
