We manage cases at every stage of the litigation life cycle. We aim to achieve optimal results for our clients and contribute to shaping various areas of law.
Our litigators are renowned for their ability to analyze complex legal issues in disputes, to frame effective and compelling arguments, and for their strong advocacy skills. They work seamlessly with our lawyers in specialist groups in complex commercial cases in a wide range of industries.
We argue cases at all court levels
We argue cases at all levels of the judicial hierarchy, from basic courts to the Supreme People’s Court in Mainland China, as well before district courts, the High Court and the Court of Final Appeal in Hong Kong.
We have experienced litigators in each of our five offices and cooperate closely with the leading regional firms in other major Chinese cities (including Chongqing, Chengdu, Changsha, Guiyang, Xi’an, Suzhou and Ningbo) ensuring that we offer our clients comprehensive coverage in any Mainland China-related dispute.
We argue the law, we shape the law
Our partners have been invited as experts to participate in legislative drafting in key areas of the law: the Compulsory Enforcement Law, the Civil Procedure Law, the Law on Choice of Law for Foreign-related Civil Relationships, and in a series of judicial interpretations.
We maintain constructive long-term professional connections and communications with key legislative, administrative and judicial authorities.
