Fangda Partners

Antiturst/Competition

Partner

Mr. Han has more than 15 years of experience in advising clients on all aspects of Chinese competition law, covering a broad range of industry sectors, including chemicals, consumer products and retail, container shipping, energy and natural resources, financial institutions, healthcare, high-tech, infrastructure and transport, private equity and telecoms.

Before joining Fangda, Mr. Han was based in China as a partner of a leading international law firm, heading its antitrust practice in the Greater China region. Michael has also worked as an official with MOFTEC (now the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM). He offers clients advice drawn from his rich experience as both a regulator in China and as a practitioner.

In addition to his understanding and knowledge of MOFCOM, Mr. Han had extensive experience in dealing with the other two anti-monopoly enforcement agencies that regulated conduct under the anti-monopoly law — the National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC) and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) — before their merger with MOFCOM into the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). This experience enables him to keep clients abreast of legal developments in a timely fashion, while providing practical compliance advice.

Mr. Han has been ranked as a Band 1 lawyer in Chinese competition/antitrust law by Chambers Asia every year since 2009. He is also recognized as a leading antitrust practitioner in China in Global Competition Review’s International Who’s Who of Competition Lawyers and PLC’s Which Lawyer.
