• Represented a large state-owned financial enterprise in a second‑instance appeal before the Supreme People's Court arising from a debt‑for‑property agreement. After the client lost entirely at first instance and faced highly unfavorable factual findings in another Supreme People's Court judgment, we secured a Supreme People's Court ruling to remand the case for retrial, and ultimately achieved a complete victory at the second retrial of second instance, with all of the opposing party's claims dismissed. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 700 million. The case involved difficult legal issues such as equity transfer guarantee and determination of malicious collusion, and was complicated by multiple related cases and parties, setting a benchmark for similar cases.
• Represented a large state‑owned automobile manufacturer in a dispute over confirmation of contract invalidity with an investment group, achieving victories at both first instance before the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court and second instance before the Guangdong High People's Court. Our team proceeded on the legal basis of "malicious collusion harming third‑party interests." Despite the extremely high standard of proof, we successfully persuaded the court, through meticulous evidence organisation and comprehensive legal reasoning, to declare the pledge contract between the investment group and its affiliates void and to order the cancellation of the pledge registration. The disputed amount was RMB 1.3 billion. This case extended the application of the malicious collusion rule to non‑monetary creditor protection scenarios in the investment and financing field, providing a valuable reference for addressing the practical dilemma where "no‑pledge" clauses lacked effective remedies.
• Represented a local government entity in a retrial proceeding before the Supreme People's Court arising from an entrusted demolition and relocation agreement. Within the shortest possible time, we sorted through nearly 20 years of project files to identify key facts, presented them clearly to the court through visual charts, and ultimately obtained a ruling dismissing the opposing party's retrial application. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 350 million.
• Represented an asset management company in a fund investment exit dispute with the controlling shareholder of a listed company. Faced with ambiguous fund contract terms and significant legal obstacles to exit, we assisted the client in filling contractual gaps and solidifying key facts before litigation, and achieved a comprehensive victory at both the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court and the Guangdong High People's Court. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 500 million.
• Represented a supply chain service enterprise in a malicious lawsuit encountered during its preparation for IPO. After the client was at a clear disadvantage in both hearings at first instance, we combed through nearly 10,000 pages of evidence and traced nearly 1,000 transactions to completely restore the true nature of the relationship as one of export agency rather than sale. We achieved a comprehensive victory before the Jiaxing Intermediate People's Court and the Zhejiang High People's Court, with all of the opposing party's claims dismissed. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 326 million.
• Represented the trade union of a state‑owned bank in a series of disputes over securities restitution and liability for harming shareholders' interests with the controlling shareholder of a listed company. The case involved a host of complex legal issues, including determination of nominee holding of corporate shares in a listed company, restitution and disposal of restricted shares, payment of consideration for the split‑share structure reform, and lifting of share sale restrictions. With almost no precedents to rely on, we helped the client secure the full transfer of the shares and dividend proceeds, and obtained an effective judgment lifting the share restrictions, properly resolving a longstanding historical issue involving claims by over 1,800 retired employees that had persisted for more than a decade. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 200 million.
• Represented a financial enterprise in a series of contract disputes with a bank, involving multi‑layered trust and asset management plan structures and cross‑over between civil and criminal matters. At the outset, the case faced dual obstacles: criminal proceedings hindering substantive civil trial, and jurisdictional objections raised by the opposing party. Our team actively addressed the jurisdictional challenges, conducted in‑depth research on the civil‑criminal interface, and produced a dedicated research report, successfully advancing the case to substantive trial. We also thoroughly analysed the transaction's substance and regulatory trends, designing a comprehensive solution from both commercial and legal perspectives, and ultimately secured a proactive settlement through parallel litigation and commercial negotiations, achieving full recovery of the client's losses. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 3.8 billion.
• Represented the majority shareholder of a large private enterprise in internal disputes with minority shareholders. Faced with seven series of lawsuits initiated by minority shareholders over three years, our team strategically coordinated all proceedings and achieved comprehensive victories at first instance, second instance, retrial, and enforcement stages, ultimately forcing the minority shareholders to reach a settlement with the majority shareholder and withdraw or abandon all pending cases. Our legal services prevented the minority shareholders from achieving their unreasonable demands, restored the company to normal operations, and avoided substantial losses.
• Represented a well‑known entrepreneur in a dispute over community debts. After the client lost entirely at first instance, we took over the case at the second instance before the Guangdong High People's Court and achieved a favourable outcome at the hearing. Following the hearing, the opposing party proactively sought a settlement, successfully reducing the client's liability from RMB 120 million to RMB 35 million, significantly easing the debt burden.
• Represented a real estate development company in a private lending dispute. After the client lost entirely at first instance due to the opposing party's use of fraudulent evidence, we filed an appeal with the Hunan High People's Court, securing a ruling to remand for retrial. We ultimately obtained comprehensive victories for the client at the retrial of first instance before the Huaihua Intermediate People's Court, the retrial of second instance before the Hunan High People's Court, and in the retrial proceedings. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 40 million.
• Represented a branch of a state‑owned bank in a lawsuit over company liquidation liability, involving historical issues from the bank's early self‑operated industries. The dispute had lasted for over a decade. After the client lost entirely at first instance, we appealed to the Hubei High People's Court. After four court hearings, we obtained a ruling to remand for retrial. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 30 million.
• Represented a joint‑stock bank in litigation arising from a financial loan contract with a well‑known real estate group, before the Taiyuan Intermediate People's Court and the Shanxi High People's Court. By the time of our engagement, the debtor's creditworthiness had significantly deteriorated. To seize the initiative and recover the debt as quickly as possible, we thoroughly demonstrated the necessity of prompt litigation and devised a strategy to add additional debt‑bearing entities. By searching all defendants' property information and identifying their most valuable assets, we successfully secured a priority freeze and obtained a favourable judgment. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 930 million.
• Represented a state‑owned asset management company in a loan contract dispute with a listed company, its actual controller, and its affiliates. In response to the debtor's repeated delays in repayment, we formulated a detailed litigation and preservation plan, and filed suit at a critical juncture during the listed company's capital operation, preserving the affiliates' core assets and the listed company's shares. This forced the debtor to agree to mediation within one month of filing. We obtained an enforceable mediation award in the shortest possible time, and when the debtor had insufficient cash assets, we assisted the client in applying for enforcement and successfully completed the entire property‑for‑debt transfer procedures. The disputed amount was approximately RMB 650 million.
• Represented a financial holding company in a entrusted loan contract dispute with a listed company, its actual controller, and an infrastructure investment company. Through channels such as public announcements of the listed company, we identified the respondents' land assets scheduled for transfer. By precisely freezing those assets and advancing a reasonable settlement plan, we successfully completed arbitration preservation just before the land was to be transferred, forcing the opposing party to introduce a third‑party investor to settle, and paid the client all amounts including legal fees. Ultimately, we recovered the entire claim, including legal fees, of approximately RMB 350 million.
• Represented an asset management company in a cross‑border M&A contract dispute with the actual controller of a listed company before the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court. The case involved complex transaction structures and legal issues, with both parties being industry leaders and well‑known listed companies. The dispute attracted significant market and industry attention. Meanwhile, the client, as an asset management company, also faced tremendous pressure from investors. Our team developed a comprehensive litigation strategy, successfully assisted the client in completing preservation property substitution, and ultimately forced the plaintiff to withdraw its claim, enabling the client to forfeit the acquirer's RMB 100 million deposit.
• Represented an investment company under a state‑owned bank in a partnership dispute before the Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration. The case was a typical project exit dispute using a partnership as the investment vehicle, with the main issues being the nature of the legal relationships between the parties and the validity of the back‑stop commitments issued by certain partners. Through extensive research, analysis, and comprehensive legal searches, we persuaded the arbitral tribunal to adopt our views from both legal and commercial perspectives, achieving a complete victory for the investment company and recovering over RMB 170 million in losses.
