She is active in the U.S.-China life sciences community and is a recognized deal maker and opinion leader.
“China is well on its way to becoming the second-largest biotech market in the world next to the United States. In addition, the Hong Kong stock exchange has become an attractive market for many global biotech companies to consider for their public offerings, and Chinese investors are a significant capital source for biotech companies around the world,” said Mitchell Bloom, Chair of Goodwin’s Life Sciences practice. “Our Life Sciences team is focused on advising our clients on both their China-focused and cross-border matters and Wendy’s extensive experience and leadership will be invaluable as we continue to build on our life sciences capabilities in China and globally.”
“Bringing Wendy on board reflects Goodwin’s commitment to continuing our growth in Greater China,” said Yash Rana, Chair of Goodwin’s Hong Kong office. “Wendy is among the few go-to lawyers for life sciences deals in China, and we are thrilled that she has chosen to join the Goodwin platform.”
Pan received a J.D. and a PhD in Chemistry from Columbia University, and an undergraduate degree from Fudan University. She is registered to practice in the State of New York and before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, and is a registered foreign lawyer in Hong Kong.
