London-based Eversheds has hired a managing partner and a special counsel for its new Beijing office.

Ingrid Zhu-Clark is joining Eversheds as Beijing office head after less than a year in the local office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. A specialist in energy-related transactions, Zhu-Clark headed Dewey & LeBoeuf’s Beijing office for over a decade until that firm’s dissolution last year. Earlier in her career, she was an associate with the former Lovells in Beijing.
