Lan-cheng has established a new fund, Lan-cheng Westcity LP (the “Fund”) and has advised Perisson of the appointment of legal (Chien Yeh Law Offices, Taipei) and financial advisors (Ernst Young, Shanghai) to oversee the funding process. The Fund has commenced finalizing commitments from its investor group.
