CHENGXIAOLIN

A graduate student at China University of Political Science and Law. Previously worked for six years at state-owned holding companies in both local regions and Beijing, rising to the positions of supervisor and manager, where I was responsible for administrative management, legal affairs, and the day-to-day operations of the board office. In April 2019, I joined Lawyer Cheng Xiaolu’s team at Beijing Deheng Law Firm, and have since dedicated nearly six years to full-time legal practice. I specialize in handling civil and commercial disputes; notably, I played a key role in representing a Shandong-based company in a liability dispute with an intermediary agency over harm to corporate interests, helping the Shandong company secure a favorable court ruling. This case was recognized as a standout example by the Xicheng District Lawyers Association of Beijing in 2023.
