About

A leading light in China’s internet and information technology business landscape, Sogou is the country’s leading internet search engine and browser. The company has enjoyed very strong growth in recent years, spurred on by investment from major companies such as Tencent, and accomplished a major milestone in 2017 when it first became listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The oversight of this major undertaking can be attributed to the company’s highly qualified legal team which is led by Wenyang Gu. Gu himself is a particularly well-regarded in-house lawyer within China, both for his significant IP expertise – on which subject he regularly contributes to through roundtables – and his successful construction of Sogou’s highly capable legal team. The department’s lawyers are highly respected among peers and well placed to continue playing a key role in Sogou’s growth.
