Business Areas

Having successfully handled numerous criminal cases involving acquittals, I possess extensive practical experience in handling complex criminal-civil crossover cases and defending against property-related penalties. I specialize in defending cases involving official misconduct, economic crimes, and cybercrime, with a unique approach to scrutinizing electronic evidence. Additionally, I have deep expertise in the field of data compliance.

We have established the Xinglai Corporate Compliance Legal Service Center, with core service areas including environmental compliance, financial compliance, data compliance, cybersecurity, personal information protection, and anti-bribery/anti-monopoly initiatives. All team members are graduates of top-tier law schools and previously spent years working at prominent national government ministries as well as leading domestic law firms—giving them a strong theoretical foundation and extensive hands-on experience in real-world legal practice.

Typical Case

Criminal Case

  1. Fraud by Fu Moumou Case: The Prosecutor's Office Accuses The fraud amount exceeded 2 million yuan, and the prosecution recommended a 13-year sentence. However, the court ultimately accepted the lawyer's defense arguments and acquitted Fu Moumou.
  2. The fraud case involving entrepreneur Xie and 62 other individuals. In the first-instance verdict, 42 defendants were found not guilty—making this the largest-ever number of acquittals in a single case in China's judicial history.
  3. The case involving Yunnan Province entrepreneur Liu and others—accused of organizing, leading, and participating in a mafia-like organization—resulted in a first-instance court ruling that the entire group did not constitute a crime under the anti-mafia law. This landmark case is exceptionally rare nationwide, as the court directly acquitted all defendants of charges related to forming or belonging to a mafia-style criminal organization, allowing the defendants' assets, estimated at billions of yuan, to remain intact.
  4. Several senior executives and employees of a Beijing-based information consulting company were implicated in an alleged organized crime case. After legal defense by their attorneys, the prosecutors decided not to press charges against all suspects, resulting in a favorable outcome. Notably, the case was handled before the introduction of the plea-bargaining system and the corporate criminal compliance framework, yet through skilled legal representation, the company was able to safeguard its ongoing operations.
  5. The court ruled that Sun, the former chairman of Tonggang Company, did not commit the crime of abuse of power by personnel of a state-owned enterprise in connection with charges of abusing his authority and accepting bribes.
  6. The corruption case involving the wife of Cai, former chairman of Hengfeng Bank, saw embezzlement totaling over 8 million yuan. After more than three years of legal proceedings, the original sentencing recommendation was for more than 10 years in prison. However, the court ultimately handed down a lighter sentence—three years and nine months in prison—effectively ensuring that the punishment closely matched the severity of the crime.
  7. In the case involving an employee of a certain real estate agency in Beijing accused of violating citizens' personal information, the court accepted the lawyer's defense arguments and decided not to admit two key pieces of evidence—namely, the inspection records and expert opinions—that are crucial for determining guilt and sentencing.
  8. The case involving Nanjing-based film and television company illegally obtaining data from a computer information system saw all more than ten individuals involved granted bail during the investigation phase—and ultimately, they were all sentenced to suspended prison terms.
  9. In a foreign exchange evasion case involving a Shanghai-based company, services such as contract review, translation, and legal defense were provided to the Iranian client. Additionally, team members traveled multiple times to embassies and consulates for communication and coordination.
  10. In Zhengzhou, a professional manager from a small loan company was convicted of illegally absorbing public deposits, with the amount involved totaling 1.1 billion yuan. However, the court accepted the lawyer's defense arguments and handed down a sentence of only five years in prison.

Compliance Case

  1. A team of lawyers, acting as professionals from a third-party oversight and assessment organization, conducted a compliance review of the company involved in an insider trading case involving the board secretary of a Guangdong-based firm. The resulting third-party regulatory compliance assessment report was highly praised by experts at the hearing—and this case marks Beijing's first criminal case involving corporate compliance remediation under the framework of a third-party oversight and assessment organization. Notably, it has been selected as one of the third batch of exemplary corporate compliance cases involving enterprises, published by the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
  2. A Beijing-based company is suspected of illegally issuing special VAT invoices. As the company’s compliance remediation consultant, I provided guidance to help them implement necessary compliance improvements. Notably, this case marked one of the first instances in Beijing where both detention necessity and compliance necessity hearings were applied simultaneously.
  3. The chairman of a Shanghai-based listed company, involved in a bribery case involving non-state employees, is serving as the company’s compliance remediation consultant, guiding the firm through its efforts to implement necessary compliance reforms.
  4. Providing compliance services such as contract review and risk assessment for a state-owned power group company, including its international business and domestic engineering general contracting operations, while assisting the company in strengthening its operational management regulations.
