Global Law Office has a proven track record as a court-appointed administrator, and is frequently selected by the Beijing First Intermediate People’s Court to act in reorganisation and liquidation cases. The firm is also called upon by banks and other financial institutions, such as HSBC, and routinely works on matters in the real estate and healthcare sectors. In Beijing, Jiuguang Zhao regularly leads the team in bankruptcy liquidation cases, while Yunjian Hou is highly reputed by clients for his expertise in advising state-owned, listed, and foreign-invested enterprises. Weiwei Gu, spearheading the group from the Shanghai office, is well-versed in disputes and compliance matters, and the firm's Shenzhen office benefits from Eric Chen's experience in financial transactions. The team was recently bolstered by the addition of Yun Li and Yibing Wang.
