Dispute resolution

The Xi'an office of East & Concord Partners focuses on high-end commercial legal services.

Senior partners Yan Wei, Hanyin Zheng and Guofeng Pang are the core figures of the Xi'an team.

During the research period, the team represented one of the largest securities companies in Shaanxi province in a pledged securities repurchase dispute. According to the firm, this was one of the most important enforcement proceedings between mainland China and Hong Kong in Shaanxi province, involving multiple provincial courts and multiple cases.

In addition, the firm represented a bank in a case of execution objection filed by the owners of real estate property. The litigation involved weighing the rights and interests of the bank, the developer and the owners of the real estate property. The stepping in of the owners of the real estate property made it difficult to realise the bank's priority right to receive the mortgage. Therefore, during the retrial, the court dismissed the objection of the owners of the real estate property and helped the client win the case.
