The compliance and regulatory practice at Fangda Partners excels at assisting international and domestic clients with national compliance standards both in China and overseas. The firm has actively assisted the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Commerce on compliance guidelines. Consequently, the team is able to assist on the full gamut of compliance matters such as anti-bribery and corruption, sanctions and export control, environmental protection, and securities regulation. Cross-border proceedings and high-profile government enforcement actions are another strength of the practice. An increasingly busy area for the team is assisting local clients with government enforcements from international governments. Regulatory expert Kate Yin leads the team alongside Benjamin Miao. Yin is especially sought out for her cross border expertise, while Miao represents major international clients in criminal and fraud investigations. Yanjun Zhuang focuses on government enforcement actions and handles criminal litigations for the firm. Corporate compliance matters such as anti-bribery and corruption are handled by Derrick Zhao. Compliance specialist Yingjie Kang was promoted to partner in 2023.
