DLA Piper has added Charles Ching as Partner in the Private Equity practice, strengthening the firm’s sponsor-side transactional capabilities and deepening its cross-border reach across Asia-Pacific markets. He will be based in the firm’s Washington, DC office.
Ching advises private equity sponsors on acquisitions, carve-outs, privatizations, and portfolio company transactions, with experience executing matters that span multiple jurisdictions and regulatory regimes. Ching’s sector experience includes technology, healthcare, and energy transition, covering both public and private transactions. His work also regularly involves coordinating cross-border deal structures, particularly in Asia–US and Asia–Europe transactions.

Ching has been recognized by IFLR1000 Asia-Pacific as a “Highly Regarded” lawyer for mergers and acquisitions and as a A-List Visionary by the China Business Law Journal.
