Request Expert

Ten-year Environmental Engineer, seventeen-year Chinese law practice, a New Zealand barrister and solicitor.

Expert joined the legal industry in 2003 after his ten-year work as an Environmental Engineer/Chief in a power plant in China. Having been admitted to the China Lawyer’s Association in 2004, Expert has been practicing law as a Generalist Lawyer. In 2015, he established a law firm together with his team and the firm is operating successfully.

Expert now has 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, he has still frequently been involved in legal issues in the Chinese law firm as his colleagues consider him the most professionally capable lawyer in terms of legal research and practical experience. Expert is particularly experienced in international-clients services.

As a solicitor/barrister in a common law country, Expert is probably in the most unique position in the world, in interpreting Chinese law based on his comparative insights between the two jurisdictions.

Experiences and Expertise in Chinese Law:
- The eighteen-year practice in Chinese law equips Expert with extensive practical experiences and a deep general understanding of the Chinese judicial system: the legal standing, lawsuit procedures, jurisdictions, and its conflicts, recognition, and enforcement of foreign judgments or arbitration awards, evidentiary rules, the history, developments, and flaws of those Chinese laws.
- These experiences relate to commercial law for companies or individuals. In China, Expert has handled numerous commercial disputes settlements, litigations, and non-litigation issues. These legal issues include loan agreements, guarantee disputes, company-law-related matters such as joint venter agreements, shareholding issues, setting up and winding up companies, mergers, and acquisitions. As an experienced counsel for companies, he is also familiar with employment-law issues including employment relationships, termination, social security, redundancy, etc.
- Practicing commercial law in China also involves family-related and property law issues. As the team leader and founding partner of the firm, he has handled many cases such as divorce, child-support payment, dividing up relationship properties (arise from marriage or relationship by living together without marriage registration), distinguishing individual debts from matrimonial debts, conveyance (including for foreign clients in China), the validity of adoption, and overseas-property disposition, and foreign exchange quota rule.
- As a Generalist Lawyer in China, Expert also has had experience in criminal law (especially in economic crimes), and intellectual property law, (has handled copyright, trademark infringements, and patent litigations).
