Firm overview

AllBright Law Offices was founded in 1999 as a full-service law firm committed to providing the highest levels of quality advice to clients.

Based in Shanghai, AllBright has grown, innovated and provided unmatched service throughout a period of continuous economic and political change across China. Our focus on providing excellent advice and support to our clients has led to rapid expansion and we have established branch offices in 21 cities on the Chinese mainland (Hangzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Taiyuan, Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Jinan, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Xi’an, Guangzhou, Changchun, Wuhan and Urumqi) as well as in Hong Kong, London (UK) and Seattle (USA). In addition, as a result of our increased international presence we have also established an association with the Hong Kong law firm Stevenson, Wong & Co. and a strategic partnership with the Bird & Bird LLP.

AllBright carries on the proud cosmopolitan culture of Shanghai and constantly seeks to bring together established legal professionals and outstanding young talent. In 2018, our team included nearly 2,300 lawyers, which grew to more than 2,800 in 2019, and now stands at over 3,100. This growth is a reflection of the importance we place on driving innovation, creating value for our clients and providing a global service for our clients.

At AllBright, we never stop upgrading and improving our professional legal services, while continuing to optimize our practice area layout. Currently, AllBright has ten major professional committees: Securities and Capital Markets, Banking and Finance, Corporate and M&A, International Trade, Cross-Border Investment, Real Estate and Construction, Intellectual Property, Maritime Affairs,Bankruptcy Liquidation and reorganization, Litigation and Arbitration, Criminal and Tax Law. Each committee continually arranges speakers to address their members, informs members of key global conferences and encourages members to interact with partner firms and companies around the world. In doing so, we aim to achieve the highest levels of professional development within the firm.

Dispute Resolution

With 100 partners and over 300 lawyers, AllBright Law Offices’ litigation and arbitration practice is well regarded for its handling of commercial disputes. The firm frequently advises on matters involving the real estate, mining and metals, and financial services sectors, and is regularly instructed by both multinational companies and major domestic enterprises. Building on a strong track record in litigation, the firm is also expanding its presence in the international arbitration arena. 

Rui Guo is a key partner, serving as lead counsel in most matters relating to banking and financial services, construction, and real estate. Other notable practitioners in the commercial disputes and international arbitration space include Frank Cao, Wilber Wang, and Leo Wang. 

The firm has been active in a series of disputes arising from the failure of an asset management plan—issued by Zhongzhou Xingsheng Asset Management and distributed by Debon Securities and Zhongzhou Futures—to redeem on schedule. The matter involves 176 investors across the country, with total claims amounting to RMB 780 million filed in multiple courts. AllBright is representing Debon Securities and Zhongzhou Futures in litigation focusing on whether financial institutions fulfilled their suitability obligations when marketing and providing high-risk financial products and related services. 

AllBright also represents clients in the “Shanshui Cement” equity dispute series. The firm acted for the client in one of the two most high-profile corporate control disputes in China’s capital market—the Shanshui Cement case—securing a decisive victory after six years of litigation. 

Headquartered in Shanghai, the firm also has branches in cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Fuzhou, Xi’an and Chongqing, all of which have been recognized by Benchmark Litigation China. 

Notable clients of the firm include Brother Industries, CITIC Securities, Huawei Technologies, and Jiangsu Guojing Holding Group.
