Inter President Steven Zhang has decided on the law firm that will be representing him as he prepares to face the €300 million lawsuit from Chinese bank China Construction Bank.
This according to Italian football finance news outlet Calcio e Finanza, who report that the Nerazzurri President will be represented by US-based law firm Statham and Wakins, who have also been involved with the President’s running of the Nerazzurri on several occasions.
Zhang is the subject of a €300 million lawsuit by China Construction Bank, who allege that the Nerazzurri President has hidden assets as they look to collect on unpaid debts regarding his dealings in China.
The Nerazzurri President will be represented by Statham and Watkins, particularly lawyers Jason C. Hegt and Zachary L. Rowen, in the case.
The US-based firm had also been involved in the transfer of ownership from previous Nerazzurri President Erick Thohir to Zhang in 2016, as well as the deal with former shirt sponsors Socios.com, and the issuance of the club’s €415 million bond.
