“With mounting pressures on corporations to stay on top of the regulatory landscape and adapt to changing geo-political pressures, Jean’s insight and experience will be imperative in advising our U.S. clients with interests in China,” said Bryan Ruez, managing director and global co-leader of Alvarez & Marsal Disputes and Investigations. “China remains one of the fastest growing economies and expanding our capabilities related to China is a pillar of growing A&M’s Disputes and Investigations practice.”
