Haiwen & Partners is one of the earliest domestic law firms engaged in foreign and overseas dispute resolution and arbitration in China. The firm’s dispute resolution team provides legal services for state-owned groups, listed companies, private enterprises at home and abroad, as well as transnational corporations, unicorns and investment institutions. Partners Fan He and Edward Liu are key figures.
In a notable case, the firm achieved a successful outcome by obtaining an order to enforce an arbitral award issued by the Shanghai Arbitration Commission arbitral tribunal as a Hong Kong judgment, with a total value exceeding Rmb185 million ($25 million). This case is particularly significant due to its high-value claim and its cross-jurisdictional nature. Under the leadership of Edward Liu, the firm's team effectively countered the award debtor's efforts to dissipate their assets and successfully refuted unfounded allegations concerning the validity of the arbitral award.
The firm maintains client confidentiality for the remaining cases it has advised on.
