Lehman Lee & Xu’s Role in International Arbitrations and Litigations

July 6, 2009 - PRLog -- The globalization of business along with fast-paced economic growth has led to international arbitrations and disputes before foreign courts a common phenomenon. China has steadily become an active and expanding litigation jurisdiction, also due in part to the crumble of the international financial system.  According to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, the number of commercial arbitrations in Shanghai accepted over the last 40 days of 2008 takes up 25% for the entire year.  The cases accepted in January and February 2009 increased twice compared to those of last year.  Consequently, experienced attorneys who can handle complex international litigations are in high demand.  But unfortunately, there is a severe shortage of talents in Chinese law firms who can eloquently spearhead these litigations and arbitrations.  At PRC law firm Lehman Lee & Xu, we have a team of seasoned legal veterans who are versed in cross-broader dispute resolutions and thrived in a diverse legal environment.  Mr. Junbo Hao and Mr. Donghui Wang are particularly noteworthy.  

Junbo Hao is a fully licensed PRC attorney at Lehman Lee & Xu.  He has accumulated extensive experience both in Chinese and international legal practice.  Mr. Hao has aggressively represented his clients in commercial negotiations, arbitrations and before local PRC courts.  In addition, he is one of the very few Chinese lawyers who has practiced under international spotlight, in high profile matters that garnered national media attention.  For example, Mr. Hao coordinated and represented 32 Chinese victims of a passenger airplane crash in the U.S. court.  Recently, he became one of the first Chinese lawyers to be elected into the First Edition of Marquis Who's Who in Asia and 26th Edition of Who’s Who in the world.  With efforts devoted to improving the legal environment of China, one of the most influential judicial magazines in China – The Chinese Procuratorial Daily, recently described Mr. Hao as the “Guardian of Chinese law”.

Donghui Wang, another fully licensed PRC attorney, is a well-respected expert in patent litigations and administrative matters. Recently, he successfully represented an Italian company against TRAB over its rejection concerning the client's trademark application, with less than 3 % of these proceedings are overturned to allow the marks to be registered.

Lehman, Lee & Xu is a prominent Chinese corporate law firm and trademark and patent agency with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macau, and Mongolia.  The firm is managed by Mr. Edward Lehman, a leading expert on corporate law with 20 years of practice experience in Mainland China.
