Criminal Defense

We represent individuals and corporations facing criminal prosecution in China across all procedural stages—from investigation and arrest to trial, sentencing, and post-conviction relief. Our team is particularly experienced in handling complex financial and regulatory offenses, and we tailor our defense strategies to the specific legal, evidentiary, and reputational challenges each case presents.

Our attorneys bring deep courtroom experience and a disciplined, analytical approach to defense work. We emphasize both substantive and procedural advocacy, ensuring that our clients’ rights are protected and that prosecutorial conduct is lawfully constrained. In unit-based prosecutions, we also assist companies in mitigating exposure and avoiding criminal penalties through compliance documentation and remedial measures.

Whether the goal is a non-prosecution decision, a reduced sentence, or exoneration, we advocate with precision, professionalism, and discretion.

Procedural Stage Representation

  • Defense during investigation and prosecution review

    We represent clients from the earliest stage of the criminal process, including attorney visits, submission of legal opinions, and applications to modify coercive measures. We challenge case framing, mental element assumptions, and evidentiary sufficiency.

  • Full trial representation

    We advocate throughout the trial process, including pretrial conferences, submission of exculpatory arguments, courtroom cross-examination, witness motions, expert participation, and sentencing mitigation.

  • Post-conviction and penalty relief

    We assist clients in pursuing lighter sentences through voluntary surrender, meritorious behavior, and legal remedies such as probation, bail, or medical parole.

Defense by Case Type

  • Financial and white-collar crime defense

    We handle cases involving contract fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, illegal business operations, fraudulent invoicing, money laundering, loan fraud, insider trading, market manipulation, and commercial bribery.

  • Corporate and entity-based crime defense

    We help companies accused of unit-based crimes prepare compliance documentation and pursue strategies for non-prosecution or penalty exemption.

  • Specialized offense defense

    We provide targeted defense in tax evasion, environmental violations, intellectual property crimes, and internet-based offenses.

  • Serious and high-impact case defense

    We represent clients in high-profile or complex matters, including death penalty cases and cases involving large numbers of victims, with particular focus on procedural safeguards and evidentiary standards.
