Jingtian & Gongcheng has hired top dispute resolution lawyer Liu Honghuan as a senior partner in the firm’s Beijing office with a spokesman saying this enhances its overall capabilities and competitiveness in commercial disputes and intellectual property litigation. Liu has been in the industry for more than 30 years and has experience leading dispute resolution teams at top law firms. Prior to joining Jingtian & Gongcheng, she was a partner at Baker McKenzie FenXun, where she was responsible for establishing and leading the dispute resolution practice. She was also the former head of Zhong Lun Law Firm’s litigation and arbitration practice and later became a JunHe partner. She specialises in disputes involving trade secret infringements, standard essential patents, product liability, as well as IP and antitrust, with clients in high-tech industries such as semiconductors, automotive and intelligent manufacturing. Liu has also worked at the economic division of the Beijing High People’s Court, giving her both judicial and legal practitioner perspectives. Jingtian & Gongcheng has been strengthening its dispute resolution practice with the recruitment of highly experienced lawyers. Last month, the firm added partner Chai Xiaofeng, an experienced litigation and arbitration specialist to the Shanghai branch.
