Zhao Yunheng, the leader of the Criminal Compliance Expert Group at the Beijing Lawyers Association Think Tank, founded Beijing Xinglai Law Firm and established a Compliance Legal Service Center. Building on the firm’s traditional approach to compliance-related legal services, Beijing Xinglai is pioneering a comprehensive, one-stop legal service model that spans both non-litigation areas—such as market regulation, environmental protection, finance, securities, and corporate M&A—and dispute resolution. By integrating more lawyer-led solutions for conflict management into its non-litigation offerings, the firm ensures seamless coordination between front-end compliance strategies and back-end dispute resolution expertise, empowering businesses and entrepreneurs to navigate the evolving legal landscape of the modern era with robust, all-encompassing protection.

Currently, the service center’s core business areas include environmental compliance, financial compliance, data compliance, cybersecurity, personal information protection, and anti-bribery/anti-monopoly efforts. All team members are graduates of top domestic law schools such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and the University of Hong Kong, and have years of experience serving in China’s relevant government ministries as well as leading domestic law firms—giving them a strong theoretical foundation and extensive practical expertise.
