Beijing Docvit Law Firm's dispute resolution practice focuses on commercial litigation and arbitration, with particular emphasis on financial services, corporate control, and real estate disputes. A new entrant to Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific this year, the firm regularly handles financial lending matters, trust contract disputes, and shareholder conflicts across its network of offices in major Chinese cities.
Jie Chen, senior partner and member of the Management Committee, leads significant matters in banking and finance disputes. He has represented major state-owned enterprises including China Development Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, and CINDA Asset Management in Supreme Court retrials and has extensive experience in non-performing asset disposal and NEEQ-related transactions.
In commercial disputes, the firm represented Beijing Jingyuntong Technology Co in securing a retrial in an environmental engineering contract dispute. After unsuccessful first and second instance trials based on disputed judicial appraisals, the legal team obtained notarized government environmental assessment records proving the client's equipment met emission standards. The Hubei High People's Court granted a retrial order in April 2024, marking a rare success in China's retrial system. The case is particularly significant as it establishes a strategic precedent for challenging technical judicial appraisals through government compliance records, rather than directly disputing the appraisals themselves. This innovative approach provides a valuable roadmap for similar environmental engineering disputes where judicial appraisal conclusions are in question, especially in cases involving technical standards and environmental compliance.
