Experiences and Expertise in Chinese law
I joined the legal industry in 2003 after my ten-year work as an environmental engineer/chief at a power plant in China. Having been admitted to the China Lawyer’s Association in 2004, I have been practising law as a generalist lawyer. In 2015, I established Royal Law Firm together with my team, and the firm is operating successfully.
I have now been admitted as a barrister and solicitor in New Zealand after 5 years of legal work and law study in New Zealand. During the period, I have still frequently been involved in legal issues in the Chinese law firm as my colleagues consider me the most professionally capable lawyer in terms of legal research and practical experience. We are particularly experienced in international client services.
My eighteen-year practice in Chinese law equips me with extensive practical experience and a deep understanding of the Chinese judicial system, legal procedure, and their history, including their developments, current status, and flaws. These experiences are related to commercial law (contract, guarantee, conveyance, debt-collection, and so on), company law (joint venture, shareholding, company establishment or winding up, mergers and acquisition, foreign-currency exchange rule, and so on), civil, family, and property law (validity of marriage and divorce, injury claim or wrongful death, succession, relationship property, adoption, and overseas-property disposition, and so on), employment law (employment relationship, termination, social security, personal income tax, redundancy, and so on), and intellectual property law (IP custom service protection, infringement damages, IP trading contracts, and so on), criminal law (especially in economic crimes), as well as conflicts of law and jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of foreign awards/judgments, arbitration, and litigation in China.
As a solicitor/barrister in New Zealand, I have a unique strength in interpreting Chinese law and practice in the courts of common law jurisdictions based on my cross-jurisdictional, comparative insights. I am now instructed to provide expert report in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Australia.
