The cross-border litigation team behind SueInChina

A seasoned litigator whose career spans more than two decades across the bench and the bar. From 1997 to 2009, he served as a labor-arbitration arbitrator, adjudicating hundreds of disputes and developing a deep, practical understanding of how Chinese tribunals think and decide. Since transitioning to full-time practice, he has built a broad portfolio in civil and commercial dispute resolution, criminal defense, administrative proceedings, and non-contentious corporate counsel.

Core Strengths

• Civil & commercial dispute resolution across multiple practice areas
• Labor & employment litigation from both the arbitrator's and advocate's perspective
• Long-term general counsel to private enterprises — preventive law and crisis management
• 12 years as a sitting arbitrator: a judge's-eye view of litigation strategy and evidence

A PRC-licensed litigator with deep, hands-on expertise in cross-border asset tracing, property preservation, and judgment enforcement across mainland China. Since being admitted to practice in 2020, he has built a focused practice on helping foreign creditors locate and freeze debtor assets in China — bank accounts, real property, receivables, equity holdings, and third-party transfers — often before the debtor even knows a lawsuit is coming. He also revives suspended enforcement cases by uncovering assets that surfaced after the original case was closed, and pairs this enforcement firepower with broad civil and commercial litigation, handling contract disputes, debt recovery, corporate conflict, and trade claims with a creditor-recovery mindset.

Core Strengths

• Asset preservation — freezing accounts, property, and receivables before dissipation
• Enforcement execution — seizure, auction, travel bans, and credit blacklisting
• Resuming suspended enforcement — reviving cases closed for lack of assets
• Civil & commercial litigation with a recovery-first approach
• Property-clue tracing — locating hidden debtor assets across mainland China

A PRC-licensed litigator with a practice centered on helping foreign parties find, freeze, and recover assets in China. Admitted in 2021, he has developed particular strength in pre-judgment property preservation proceedings — moving quickly to lock down bank accounts, inventory, and property before dissipation — and in the post-judgment enforcement work needed to pursue actual collection. His civil and commercial litigation experience spans international trade and supplier disputes, intellectual-property enforcement, commercial contract claims, and debt recovery, giving him the full-cycle capability that cross-border creditors need: from evidence preservation through to asset seizure and enforcement.

Core Strengths

• Pre-judgment asset preservation — fast action to freeze assets before they disappear
• In-China asset tracing and post-judgment enforcement procedures
• International trade and supplier disputes (defective goods, non-delivery, QC failures)
• Intellectual-property protection: trademark, patent, and unfair-competition actions
• Broad civil and commercial litigation experience with enforcement focus

A litigator with a distinctive background bridging finance and the judiciary. Before entering practice, he spent eight years in the banking sector, giving him an insider's understanding of financial flows, account structures, and asset tracing — invaluable in enforcement and recovery work.

His practice focuses on civil and commercial litigation, arbitration, and general-counsel work for enterprises.
