Able to solve ‘complex problems in a short period of time’, Jincheng Tongda & Neal‘s ’efficient and cohesive‘ international trade practice is routinely retained by MOFCOM to handle bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations, as well as WTO disputes. The group’s trade remedy track record further includes antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations into aluminium sheets, steel products, tyres, and solar panels (initiated by the US, EU and India). Heading the group, Chen Yang has longstanding international trade expertise; Stephen Peng’s experience includes representing MOFCOM in major WTO dispute settlements; Xin Fu handles inbound and outbound trade remedy investigations; and Zheng Xu is a US trade remedy investigation expert. Also integral to the practice, David Wu ‘particularly impresses’; and Ziying Shen and Lin Li are both specialists in countervailing duty investigations. At senior associate level, Yifan Wu maintains an active WTO and international trade law practice.
