Edward Lehman is the Managing Director of Lehman, Lee & Xu, one of the top 3 commercial law firms in China with offices throughout mainland China, and branches in Hong Kong, Macau and Mongolia. Based in Beijing, Mr. Lehman specializes in the legal aspects of doing business in China. He advises foreign companies on joint ventures, wholly owned subsidiaries and holding companies, technology, licensing, engineering and construction projects, and the financing of such projects, as well as the protection of intellectual property rights in transactions and projects in China, and on mining law. In practice for over 20 years, Edward has advised on a wide variety of China projects ranging from cars to pharmaceuticals to power plants to websites to the development of mining projects.
In China since 1989, Edward Lehman is one of the best known "China-hands" after 16 years in Beijing and Shanghai. Ed has been voted by "Asian Legal Business Magazine" as one of the top 30 most famous lawyers in China.
Shoshone President, Lex Smith stated: "Ed Lehman is an invaluable addition to Shoshone's Board of Directors and to the Company. I have known Ed as a business associate and good friend since 1994. He brings to Shoshone's Board a wealth of business experience and international savvy that few people can match. Given the ever greater role China is and will be playing in the world of international mining, Ed's guidance and leadership will ensure Shoshone's successful competition in that arena.
Further, Ed’s legal expertise and extensive knowledge of U.S. Federal corporate compliance laws and Sarbanes Oxley regulations will help guide Shoshone’s Board at a time when all public companies are under ever increasing government scrutiny. Given all the financial and legal pressures corporations are under at this time, Ed’s legal advice will be of immeasurable value to Shoshone.”
