In commercial disputes, the firm acted for Bank of Jiujiang Guangzhou branch and Meizhou Guangmei Investment Enterprise against
a jewellery company, Junjue Hotel, and two guarantors of the jewellery company
in respect of a loan contract dispute. The case was one of the most significant for Jiujiang and Guangmei in the last three years. Also, the firm represented Guangzhou Yuexiu Financial Leasing against Henan TV on a financial leasing contract dispute.
In international arbitration, the firm represented Guangfa Securities Asset Management in an arbitration against an A-share listed company and its ultimate beneficial owners relating to a stock-pledged repurchase agreement dispute that amounts to Rmb2.6 billion before the Guangzhou Arbitration Commission. The case is a flagship for financial institutions to settle similar disputes using arbitration in Guangdong, and also concerns the recognition and enforcement of the award in Hong Kong.
