Yang Su

Yang joined Parry Field shortly after moving to New Zealand and is a Senior Associate in our Impact and Commercial team. He qualified as an attorney in New York in 2010, practiced in China and the Middle East for a New York based international law firm, and later as an Associate General Counsel for a Middle East national oil company. He specialised in cross-border corporate transactions, multi-national joint ventures, and development of complex infrastructure projects.

Leveraging his international experience, he now regularly advises on entity structuring, intellectual property ownership and licensing, software agreements, mergers and acquisitions, investment fund establishment and fundraising. Yang particularly enjoys supporting purpose-driven charitable entities and New Zealand start-ups to navigate legal risk by ensuring they understand the practical and legal issues needed to make informed decisions.

Outside of work, Yang is an advisory board member to Entre (the University of Canterbury Entrepreneurial Student Club) and a mentor with Ministry of Awesome. In his spare time, Yang enjoys running (slowly), keeping up with his favourite sports teams (the All Blacks, La Albiceleste, and the Houston Rockets) and spending time with his family and friends. He is conversant in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.
