Beijing-based full-service Anjie & Broad Law Firm is best known in the disputes field for its international arbitration and commercial and transactions-related work, especially in the insurance sector. Meanwhile, intellectual property litigation has become another outstanding practice area of the firm, with full coverage of patents, trademarks, copyrights and unfair competition.
Key partners in the Beijing office include commercial disputes expert Zhan Hao, Wan Jia and IP partner Liu Qinghui (Nick).
During the research period, the firm acted for the hull & machinery insurer and reinsurer on a more than Rmb1 billion ($138 million) claim against the insured in the largest offshore wind power construction accident in China and advised COSCO Shipping (Qidong) Offshore Co. and its insurance company on an over Rmb300 million claim against ZPMC.
In intellectual property, among the publishable deals, AnJie Broad represented ACON Biotech (Hangzhou) Co. against Sinocare in a very important patent invalidation administrative case before the Beijing Intellectual Property Court.
