Han Kun Law Offices' dispute resolution practice is renowned for its exceptional quality of work and is frequently sought after for counsel on a range of matters, including commercial disputes, intellectual property issues, antitrust cases, and labour and employment concerns. The firm has garnered particular acclaim for its expertise in handling intellectual property disputes within the telecommunications, healthcare and chemical industries.
Eric Liu, partner and member of the dispute resolution team, is lauded for his work in the commercial and transactions field. IP specialist Yan Wang is also a recognised name. Other key names include Denning Jin, Andy Liao and Yaxing Zhang.
In a significant commercial and transactions matter, the firm acted as legal counsel for a major trust company in a financial litigation case against a prominent entrepreneur and his company. This complex and challenging case involved substantial financial transactions and evidence. The firm successfully represented the client and achieved victories in both the initial and subsequent trials. As a result of these successful outcomes, the client was able to recover potential losses exceeding Rmb1.7 billion ($235 million).
In the field of intellectual property, the firm's IP team represented a California-based technology firm zSpace in various trademark invalidation filings, as well as a refusal review and related administrative litigation, which ultimately led to retrial litigation. The team achieved a favourable outcome with a retrial judgment issued by the Beijing High People's Court. The judgment revoked the previous judgments and decisions and instructed the China National Intellectual Property Administration to re-issue a decision regarding the core mark in class 9.
Client confidentiality is strictly upheld by the firm for all remaining cases it has provided advice on.
The firm’s IP team has promoted Xiaoming Deng, Chunyao Lin and Long Liu to partners in January 2023.
In 2022, the firm expanded its presence by opening offices in Haikou and Wuhan in April and July, respectively. In November of the same year, its Hong Kong office merged with its associated law firm in Hong Kong, following approval by The Law Society of Hong Kong. The merged entity is now officially licensed and authorised to provide independent legal services in Hong Kong.
