Yuan Jiang is an associate at Barnes & Thornburg whose practice focuses on corporate and transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, investment transactions, business structuring, and general corporate counseling. Fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Yuan brings a cross-border, multidisciplinary, and comparative perspective to her work, shaped by experience across law firms, courts, and legal research institutions in both the United States and China.
Before joining Barnes & Thornburg, Yuan spent two summers with the firm as a summer associate. She also gained experience at a leading law firm in Beijing, where she was selected for secondment to a client company and supported in-house counsel with business contract review and internal legal matters. These experiences gave her firsthand insight into the practical, business-focused guidance clients value when legal issues intersect with day-to-day operations.
Yuan brings strong analytical skills, precision, responsiveness, and a client-oriented, collaborative approach. She helps translate legal analysis into practical, business-oriented solutions and is comfortable navigating legal, cultural, and business complexity with clarity and judgment.
