As a court clerk and then a judge, I have worked for a Chinese district

economic, real estate and criminal Division, judgment enforcement

division as well as research department. I have been awarded honors by

the court and government for my research works and judicial reports, some

For the past 7 years I have worked for several leading firms in Guangzhou

(used to call Canton), which is located in the south of China, near Hong

Kong and has long history as a commodity trading centre in China. There I

have accumulated experience in private legal practice and developed my

own client base. My practice areas primarily involve FDI, corporation,

M&A, reorganization, assets transfer, company winding-up, liquidation and

bankruptcy, business consulting, intellectual property rights, the land

or property, labor issues, international business transaction, sports

law, etc. Though my practice areas are general, but inter alia, my

services are more "foreign-oriented", because I more focus on my services

to "foreign-related" businesses.

Foreign Study Experience

In 2002, I completed an international public law LLM program in the EU,

and in this May, 2010, I just finished my second LLM program -

International & Comparative law program study at the University of Iowa.

These two study experiences give me more understandings of both European

and American culture and legal system.
