Jones Day
Jones Day utilises its global approach to aid in antitrust investigations and litigations both inside and outside of China. Domestic and international clients regularly seek out the practice for antitrust advice and merger reviews. Hong Kong-based Peter Wang leads on the antitrust and litigation practices, establishing himself as a go-to for M&A and non-merger investigations for US and Chinese clients. Yizhe Zhang and Qiang Xue (who is valued for his 'profound knowledge of government regulation and anti-monopoly law') are well qualified to advise on Chinese enforcement agencies’ investigations and decision-making practices. In Beijing, Yichen Wu handles merger filing reviews and private litigation, while Lawrence Wang focuses on pre-merger notifications and antitrust government investigations.
