Ten-year Environmental Engineer, seventeen-year Chinese law practice, a New Zealand barrister and solicitor.

Expert joined the legal industry in 2003 after his ten-year work as an Environmental Engineer/Chief in a power plant in China. Having been admitted to the China Lawyer’s Association in 2004, Expert has been practicing law as a Generalist Lawyer. In 2015, he established a law firm together with his team and the firm is operating successfully.

Expert now has been admitted as a barrister and solicitor in New Zealand after 5 years of legal work and law study in New Zealand. During the period, he has still frequently been involved in legal issues in the Chinese law firm as his colleagues consider him the most professionally capable lawyer in terms of legal research and practical experience. Expert is particularly experienced in international-clients services.

As a solicitor/barrister in a common law country, Expert is probably in the most unique position in the world, in interpreting Chinese law based on his comparative insights between the two jurisdictions.
