Over the past three years, Julie Gao, head of Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom’s China practice and an iconic figure in the U.S. listings practice in Asia, has advised on 27 successful multimillion-dollar U.S. initial public offerings (IPO) of Chinese companies.

To put that into context, 102 Chinese companies have listed in New York since 2019. And Gao took a quarter of that market share. Her 27 deals hold a total listing value of $18.5 billion, almost double the $10.1 billion raised by the other 74 issuers combined.
