About

Tsinghua Holdings Corporation is a high-tech company, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tsinghua University. It is the largest enterprise in the field of integrated circuit in China and the third largest mobile phone chip enterprise in the world. Members of the legal team are experienced in-house counsel, most of whom are dual-educated in both law and science and therefore have a deep understanding of the technical aspects of the corporation’s core business. Further, they possess an acute business sense and have an insight into how the business operates. A nominator has said that, ‘they are experts in how to balance the business needs against the statutory requirements. They respect the law and external lawyers, and are willing to work side-by-side with the external lawyers to tackle complicated issues in sophisticated cases’. Dongxi Liu is the general counsel of Tsinghua Holdings Corporation and leads the team. In July this year the company signed a major deal to buy a French start-up computer chip firm for US$2.6bn.
