Dispute Resolution

Commerce & Finance Law Offices is renowned for its expertise in commercial disputes, banking and finance, fund and trust, and international trade. In recent years, the firm has also expanded into international arbitration. Key partners at the firm’s Beijing headquarters include Hongji Li, Qiang Cui, Jialu Wang, and Xiaoming Guo, all specialising in commercial disputes. 

During the research period, Cui’s team represented Growth Steal Group in the largest civil litigation case in China’s history, the Suzhou toxic land billion-yuan infringement case, involving Rmb10 billion. This case, heard by the Jiangsu Higher People’s Court in the first instance, is the largest civil litigation case since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, given the high threshold for first-instance cases in higher courts. 

Li and his team represented Hainan Rubber Group in a dispute with China Huayang over joint venture control. Despite contributing 90% of the capital, Hainan Rubber Group held only 35% of the shares. After the court rejected their request to dissolve the joint venture and recover the investment, Commerce & Finance devised a plan. They filed a capital contribution dispute, won the case, and initiated a forced execution procedure to transfer China Huayang’s 65% equity to Hainan Rubber Group, making it the 100% owner. This strategy helped Hainan Rubber Group gain control quickly. 

The firm has also bolstered its team by hiring five partners from Jincheng Tongda & Neal, and two others from Kingpound Law Firm in Guangzhou and Beijing W&H Law Firm. In 2025, the firm recruited four partners in Hong Kong, including Bonnie Rong (from Han Kun), Chi-ho Kwan (from Jingtian & Gongcheng), and Kung-Wei Liu and Frank Fu (both from A&O Shearman).
