For outbound transactions, Mr. Ye manages the PRC regulatory workstream end to end:
Because approval sequencing drives deal timing, Mr. Ye coordinates the NDRC, MOFCOM and SAFE workstreams against the transaction timetable, so that funding, signing and closing conditions are met in the right order.
Mr. Ye advises on acquisition financing for Chinese buyers, including leveraged acquisition structures, negotiation of bank term sheets and facility agreements, and cross-border security arrangements spanning mainland China, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands. He coordinates onshore and offshore counsel so that financing documents, security registration and regulatory approvals operate as one system rather than as isolated workstreams.
For companies raising capital abroad, Mr. Ye acts as PRC counsel in overseas note and bond issuances, advising on issuer-side compliance, transaction documentation from the China perspective, and the interface between offshore issuance and onshore approvals. His experience includes cross-border transactions involving multiple jurisdictions where Chinese regulatory requirements must be satisfied without delaying the offshore timetable.
Mr. Ye provides bilingual (Mandarin and English) written advice with clear next steps, and coordinates with overseas counsel, accountants and bankers so that PRC work product is aligned with the global transaction rather than created in isolation. Engagements are confirmed in writing with scope and fee protocols, and clients are expected to receive candid assessment of regulatory risk before committing to a structure.
