• Shanshan Ren represented the client in applying for the revocation of an arbitral award at the Beijing No. 4 Intermediate People's Court and achieved the result of re-arbitration. The applications for the revocation of arbitral awards are rarely supported by Chinese courts, with an overall proportion of less than 8 per 1,000. In this case, the client could be liable for over CNY 100 million according to the original arbitral award. Ms Ren applied for the revocation of the award on the ground that the award went beyond the scope of the claims of the parties. The difficulties of this case lie in the concealment of “awards beyond the claims”, and the ever-disputed of “whether the arbitration tribunal/court is allowed to award beyond the claims, when the parties claim based on the validity of the contract while the tribunal/court considers the contract invalid”. Finally, with appropriate strategies and adequate argumentation, Ms Ren obtained a favorable result for the client.
• Shanshan Ren represented Intraseed I LP in an equity transfer dispute against Ningbo Zhenhai Junding Xieli Venture Capital Co., Ltd. ("Xieli"). In this case, the client entered into an equity transfer contract with Xieli. After paying the equity transfer fees, the Target Company was found performance falsification. The client, therefore, sought to withdraw from the transaction. However, it is the Target Company and its founder, not Xieli, the counterparty to the contract, who committed fraud. Ms Ren innovatively adopted the rule of "Third Party Fraud" which had not been supported by any precedent. Ultimately, the court has ruled to revoke the equity transfer agreement and order Xieli to refund more than CNY 40 million of equity transfer fees to the client.
• Shanshan Ren represented Vitron Group Co., Ltd. in an equity transfer dispute against Wang, which is of popularity in both education and legal industries. In this case, Wang breached the non-compete obligation under an equity transfer contract with the client. Although the provisionsin the contract were ambiguous, and were detrimental to the client, Ms Ren fully analyzed the critical provisionsand successfully reversed the unfavorable situation. The court finally ruled that Wang should compensate the client CNY 54.91 million because of his violation of the non-compete obligation. Moreover, at the stage of enforcement, Ms Ren helped the client revocate the transferof the debtor’s property to third parties for unreasonable consideration by filing a lawsuit of Creditor's Right of Revocation.
