The strategic partnership between Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia (MSPEA) and Tianhe is intended to transition Tianhe from a domestic leader to a global player in speciality chemicals. Paul, Weiss advised MSPEA as international counsel on their largest investment to date.
The AVCJ Private Equity and Venture Capital Awards program is a centerpiece of the annual AVCJ Private Equity and Venture Forum, Asia's premier private equity industry event of the year. The event draws thousands of delegates from around the world.
