Lawsuits & Disputes

We can advise on the most complex commercial disputes and international arbitration in China and beyond.

Our disputes and international arbitration specialists can support clients wherever a dispute may arise, whilst advising them at earlier stages of business matters to avoid complex and costly cross-border commercial disputes in the future.

From general commercial disputes and international arbitration, to regulatory investigations, white-collar crime and labour disputes, we can represent Chinese and multinational clients before courts and arbitration institutions in China and globally.

Equipped with both legal expertise and engineering backgrounds, our IP specialists can advise on complex IP, patent and antitrust-related litigation across industries.

We can represent clients in China's courts, as well as advising in overseas jurisdictions.
