Shearman & Sterling has opened an office in Shanghai, its third in China after Beijing and Hong Kong. The new office will be headed by project finance partner Andrew Ruff. Ruff was previously a partner in the firm’s Hong Kong office, but he relocated to Shanghai last October to prepare for the opening. The Shanghai office also includes five associates, and will focus on project finance, capital markets, and M&A work. Shearman & Sterling has 20 offices worldwide.
