Shanghai

One of the earliest law firms in China, Beijing Kangda Law Firm sees dispute resolution as one of its core strengths. It focuses on disputes in the fields of securities, equity, investment funds, real estate, and labour and employment. The firm is also particularly known for its expertise in government and regulatory, and criminal disputes. 

Key names include Yan Lian, Junxi Lu and Jun Liu.  

The firm represented China Resources Land in a post-acquisition dispute arising from a breach of valuation shortfall compensation obligations. After the client acquired several medical and elderly care service entities—sectors with which it had limited prior experience—the counterparty refused to perform contractual compensation and equity pledge obligations. The legal team reviewed extensive materials to ascertain the true intent of the transaction, gathered supporting evidence, and filed a lawsuit with the Nanjing Intermediate People’s Court. The firm’s precise handling of the case, which involved complex M&A structuring and state-owned enterprise considerations, received strong recognition from the client. 

Beijing Kangda Law Firm, led by partner Lu Junxi, acted as defense counsel in a high-stakes equity transfer dispute involving Shanghai Jinxin Investment Consulting Partnership and Everbright Jinhui Investment Management (collectively “Everbright”) against Beijing Baofeng Technology and its legal representative Feng. The claimants sought approximately RMB 750 million in damages and interest for alleged breach of repurchase obligations, with further claims of RMB 4.62 billion threatened. The case arose from the high-profile Italian MPS project acquisition failure, and its outcome bore directly on Baofeng’s solvency. Retained in August 2019 under a base-plus-contingency fee arrangement, the firm secured a complete first-instance victory before the Beijing High People’s Court in 2020, with all claims dismissed.
