Firm Introduction |
 |
|
Han Yi Law Offices is a PRC law firm founded by a group of veteran
"returnees" and experienced PRC practitioners. The
focal point of Han Yi is to provide first-class legal services
at competitive rates on PRC-related legal matters to leading
business players in the dynamic Chinese market. We offer a unique
combination of Chinese local know-how and international law
practice excellence. |
The firm is dedicated to providing clients with excellent
service and high-quality legal work. While we deploy our lawyers
with a view to efficiency, we have extensive experience handling
large and complex matters. For such matters, we are able to
draw on the full resources of the firm by easily assembling
teams of lawyers from different practice groups. |
While our practice is primarily focused on M&A, formation and deployment of private equity funds, capital market, project
finance and banking, FDI, and foreign-related dispute resolution,
we strive to be a full service firm that can offer a diverse
range of sophisticated legal services to businesses and individuals. |
We believe that our work should be judged on the quality gleaned
from our unique local knowledge and international perspective,
rather than the size of our organization. We are always determined
to offer our clients reliable access to experienced lawyers
with the objective of effectively presenting practical and commercial
solutions in a timely way to address the concerns and priorities
of our clients. |
At Han Yi, integrity, professionalism, efficiency, open communications
and teamwork are fundamental values that help to shape the dynamic
and diverse legal careers of our lawyers. We believe this will
in turn effectively translate into the continued success for
ourselves and our clients. |

Connotation of “Han Yi” |
 |
|
In Chinese, the words Han (瀚) and Yi (一) are endowed with opposite implications. Han generally means vastness and immensity. Yi, the simplest Chinese character with multiple meanings, frequently refers to the smallest, the simplest, consistency, and the starting point, among others. Our firm name Han Yi, featuring a simple combination of these two conceptually contrary words, symbolizes the unity of opposites and interprets our fundamental understanding of the legal profession and our unremitting pursuit of a unique presence in the legal service market. |
