Established in 2002, SD & Partners is headquartered in Shenzhen with offices in Beijing and Qianhai. The firm is active in the areas of civil and commercial disputes as well as international arbitration. Its specialty lies in disputes relating to construction and engineering, real estate and banking and finance.
Key partners at the firm include Yongjing Wang, Wei Li and Xingming Kou. They are all adept in financial and corporate matters as well as construction and real estate disputes.
Among the commercial disputes, the firm successfully represented a client in a two-year arbitration case involving a dispute over the transfer of property shares worth Rmb3.71 billion ($513 million). The case revealed major facts concealed by the opposing parties, leading to a fundamental breach of contract. The firm recovered nearly Rmb2 billion in losses for the client, setting an important precedent for urban renewal transactions and emphasising the principle of good faith in future dealings within the Shenzhen real estate market.
Key clients include China Guangfa Bank, CITIC Trust and Xinhaiyi Technology Group.
