Exclusive TV Interview Focuses on the Firm's Strategic PRC Practice
''NEW YORK (October 31, 2007)—Thelen Washington, DC partners Louis Bevilacqua and Joseph Tiano were interviewed by Wall Street Reporter Television at the recent Roth Capital Conference in New York City. In this exclusive video interview, the partners discuss how the 600-attorney international firm helps Chinese companies go public in the United States, and provide advice on how other public companies can enter the U.S. capital markets.
Mr. Bevilacqua, whose practice focuses specifically on Chinese public companies, talks about the firm’s experience in representing approximately 16 Chinese companies, and explains how the firm assists these companies in the United States, including providing guidance with financing transactions. He also outlines Thelen’s strategic position as "an intermediary between Chinese companies and the U.S. economy and culture," and attributes Thelen’s success to the firm’s unique ability to "operate bi-culturally as well as bilingually."
Mr. Tiano explains that many of the companies he represents manufacture products on a very large scale and have successful, thriving businesses, but tend not to understand U.S. capital markets.
"Since these are very good companies, their profiles simply need to be enhanced for them to be meaningful players in the U.S. marketplace," Mr. Tiano said.
