John Fadely joins Clifford Chance's fund practice
Based in Tokyo, the firmÆs new partner is expected to help tap US private fund clients in the region.
Law firm Clifford Chance has added John Fadely as a partner to its fund practice.
Fadely joins the firm in Tokyo where he most recently led and managed the Asian private funds practice of US firm Skadden Arps.
Fadely brings a ôcomplementary set of skills to the firmö, says Roger Denny, head of corporate for Asia at Clifford Chance. ôAs a US qualified lawyer, he can offer a great deal of experience and expertise to our US funds clients. He is also fluent in both Japanese and Mandarin, enriching our funds practice in both Japan and mainland China.ö
FadelyÆs remit will have a North Asian focus, including China and Tokyo.
A US citizen, Fadely has already built a successful practice in Tokyo and his skills and knowledge of the market will be essential to help Clifford Chance continue to expand there, according to a spokesperson. The firm already has a number of US qualified funds lawyers in Asia.
Clifford Chance believes FadelyÆs experience, background, and language skills will give the firm ôvery positive synergiesö with the current practice's strengths.
