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.
The litigation and arbitration department of Guantao Law Firm is widely recognised by its peers. The firm handles a variety of complex disputes matters, being especially known for commercial and transactions-related disputes, such as high-value, complex corporate and commercial disputes, and insolvency, as well as regulatory matters. Leiming Sheng and Shaosong Sun jointly lead its disputes team, with expertise in commercial and construction disputes as well as antitrust and arbitration. Wei Jiang is also singled out for his work in the construction space.
The law firm is representing the Beijing branch of China Huarong Asset Management in handling 11 litigation and enforcement cases involving financial non-performing debt recovery disputes, loan contract disputes, and enforcement of notarised creditor instruments. The disputed amount in each case exceeded Rmb200 million, with the highest case involving nearly Rmb600 million.
The law firm is also representing Western Trust in litigation against debtors involving credit assignment contract disputes and subrogation disputes, with Guantao’s Xi’an and Hangzhou offices assisting in litigation preservation measures. A critical challenge in these cases is determining whether the legal nature of the credit assignment contracts is classified as private lending or financial lending, which directly impacts the judicial ceiling for interest and penalty protections.
The firm’s Shenzhen office represents a leading real estate development company in defending against a group litigation case filed by approximately 40 homeowners. The plaintiffs collectively allege damages due to false advertising, losses from prefabricated decoration, and penalties for delayed delivery. The case requires the firm to rapidly gather evidence and formulate defences amid voluminous case materials. A key challenge lies in the legal classification of prefabricated decoration – an innovative construction method with limited judicial precedents.
Key clients include Ping An Property Insurance, Shenzhen Bi’an Trend Technology, SZ DJI Technology and Walmart (China) Investment.
In early 2026, Xuanmo Jin joined the firm’s Beijing office as a partner, bringing expertise in cross-border and criminal litigation.
