China's Elite List
The inaugural “China Elite List” aims to highlight and promote senior legal professionals who are deeply rooted in China’s major business hubs and have demonstrated outstanding performance within regional law firms.

Han Meijun
Beijing Xinglai Law Firm
Partner
Bachelor of Laws from Tsinghua University and Master of Civil Procedure Law from Tsinghua University. Previously worked at Zhonglun Law Firm in Beijing, and in 2025, was awarded the “Rising Star Lawyer Award” at the 10th Guike Annual Conference.
With over seven years of experience in the field of civil and commercial dispute resolution, I have represented clients in dozens of complex and high-profile litigation and arbitration cases. The types of disputes I have handled include share-transfer disputes, wagering contract disputes, private equity fund and trust contract disputes, guarantee contract disputes, private lending disputes, corporate resolution validity disputes, and trade secret infringement disputes. The adjudicating bodies involved in these cases include the Supreme People's Court, higher people's courts across various regions, the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, and the Beijing Arbitration Commission, among other judicial institutions. I specialize in helping clients develop systematic dispute-resolution strategies—from identifying and mitigating transaction risks at the front end and designing optimal business negotiation plans, to assembling pre-litigation evidence chains, formulating preservation strategies, and ultimately conducting effective courtroom advocacy and ensuring successful enforcement and recovery of funds. I provide clients with comprehensive, one-stop services that enable them to stand out in complex legal disputes and achieve a seamless integration of commercial objectives and legal values.
In addition to civil and commercial disputes, we also specialize in the cultural and entertainment sectors, with particular expertise in handling disputes related to music and film/TV investments. We have extensive experience in compliance and crisis public relations, providing end-to-end risk management and rights protection solutions for leading platforms, talent agencies, and public figures.
