Dispute resolution and litigation
- Consistent with the quality of our litigation team in other regions of south China, the litigation department in the Heifei office is noted for its depth and effectiveness. Our Heifei litigators are trial lawyers who possess the experience and skills to handle virtually any type of disputed matter that may arise in the business, commercial, employment, investment, or real estate domain. Our litigation lawyers have developed specialized proficiency in such areas as:
- antitrust and trade regulation
- mergers and acquisitions
- intellectual property and the protection of proprietary rights
- employment litigation, including claims for wrongful termination, sex, age and race discrimination and harassment in the workplace
- product liability
- lender liability and other financial institution litigation
- securities litigation
- insurance coverage and “bad faith” claims
- bankruptcy and creditors rights
- claims against professional service firms, including accountants
The approach to litigation employed by the office includes five major concepts: (1) efficient use of resources; (2) careful and thoughtful legal analysis; (3) candor with our clients; (4) aggressiveness as warranted by the circumstances surrounding the dispute; and (5)constant consideration of the client's ultimate objective. Few cases are alike; therefore, our litigators have learned to be flexible and innovative in the quest to obtain the best result for our clients.
Our litigation team is a strong proponent of and active participant in alternative dispute resolution proceedings. We believe that ADR can be employed for many of our clients in order to achieve beneficial results while minimizing costs of litigation.
The breadth of the litigation team in this law office based in Shenzhen, China has expanded with the globalization of the world's economy. Our client base extends throughout east China.
