JunHe Partner Yang Jinwen is once again selected as a Top 20 client choice lawyer by Asian Legal Business

2021.08.23

On August 23, 2021, Asian Legal Business, a leading global legal magazine, announced the“2021 ALB China Top 20 Client Choice” list. For the second time, JunHe Partner Mr. YANG, Jinwen was selected for his professionalism and dedication in providing legal services.


Mr. YANG, Jinwen’s main practice areas are cybersecurity and data compliance, foreign investment, M&A restructuring, compliance investigation and investment in Japan. He has long served Internet technology companies, multinational biopharmaceutical companies, large Japanese general trading companies, automobile and machinery manufacturers, energy and chemical companies, and food companies. Mr. Yang has been involved in more than 100 foreign investment and M&A projects, nearly 100 divestment and liquidation projects of companies investing in China, and has also represented many Chinese companies in their investment projects in Japan. With his experience in Japanese general trading companies, Mr. Yang has represented Chinese clients in their negotiations with Japanese companies, and has counseled Chinese companies in resolving difficulties in negotiations and post-investment integration issues caused by cultural differences.


"A strong sense of responsibility, prompt response and good communication skills" sum up YANG, Jinwen's experience in dealing with his clients. 


After again winning the award, Mr. Yang shared his experience in which he represented a foreign client in a mixed-use project by state-owned enterprises approved by the Ministry of Finance, which needed to enter into a large transaction with an amount in the billions of yuan. Facing very complex and different demands from both the state-owned enterprises and the private enterprises, and domestic and foreign companies, it became very difficult to form a consortium to bid for the project. The team also faced a dilemma in that the approval from the Ministry of Finance would be invalidated if the transaction was not completed within one month from taking over the project. Under pressure from both inside and outside, and within a very short period, the JunHe team provided the feasibility study, and undertook transaction procedure research, the coordination of the parties and the project negotiation. The team also drafted and revised the draft transaction documents, participated in the signing and project delivery bilingually. Through the JunHe team’s efficient and superior legal services, the case was delivered smoothly and won praise from the foreign client's group executives and the General Manager: "Without YANG, Jinwen's excellent organization and coordination ability and solid business skills, it would have been impossible to complete such a complex transaction project in such a short period of time".


How to remain the first choice for clients in the face of complex and changing markets, policies and strong competitors.


Opportunity is always reserved for those who are prepared. The Cybersecurity Law was first introduced at the end of 2016, and the comparative principles stipulated in the Cybersecurity Law had not yet been issued with operable implementation details. Mr. Yang realized that there would be a blueprint in the field of cybersecurity and data compliance in the digital economy, and immediately set out to study it in depth. Due to his advance judgment and preparation, he acquired practical opportunities in groundbreaking and challenging projects from his clients, and handled a lot of business for his clients in data compliance audits, data exit screenings, handling APP notification downgrading, cyber security and data compliance system construction.


Mr. Yang believes in keeping up with the development of the times and recognizes the importance of identifying the legal needs of new business areas that emerge during the process of economic transformation. He is adept at identifying business opportunities and then seizing them early. This is the key to his outstanding practice and the secret of his being "preferred by clients".
