Headquartered in Beijing, W&H Law Firm is renowned for its expertise in bankruptcy law. The practice serves a diverse clientele, including large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, government agencies, financial institutions, public institutions, multinational corporations, foreign-invested enterprises, private companies, high-tech firms and internet platforms.
The team has shown exceptional performance in litigation, arbitration and the enforcement of notarised creditor instruments, particularly in high-stakes financing disputes, real estate sales and leasing conflicts, construction engineering disputes, private lending and guarantee contract disputes, and tort litigation.
W&H Law Firm represented Industrial Bank in a groundbreaking collective redress lawsuit involving bond investors’ claims against Dalian Machine Tool Group Corporation. The case addressed novel legal questions, such as the applicability of misrepresentation liability to bonds traded in China’s inter-bank market and the determination of causation in bond transactions – issues that had not been previously addressed by the courts.
In the intellectual property sector, the team defended Samsung in high-stakes patent infringement disputes in China, setting new standards for cross-border IP enforcement. They also represented Midea in a trade secret dispute recognised by the Guangdong High Court, reinforcing judicial standards for corporate confidentiality protections.
Over the past year, the firm has further strengthened its capabilities by adding four senior partners: Fengmin Lu, Ji Shao, Jianyao Shan, and Bin Wu. These additions enhance the firm's expertise and solidify its position as a leader in complex dispute resolution within China’s dynamic commercial landscape.
