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.
