Shanghai's endeavours to become a leading international shipping centre have driven the city's law firms to build up practices and expertise that are relevant to the shipping and logistics industries. One of Shanghai's rising firms, HaoLiWen, has recently done so by promoting a customs law specialist to partner.
Zhou Hemin, with 11 years of legal practice experience, has become a partner and co-heads the firm's customs & tariffs practice group with senior partner Zhao Deming. Zhou has been practising at the firm for five years as a senior consultant specialising in customs law, and he also serves as an associate professor at the Shanghai Customs College.
The HaoLiWen customs & tariffs team currently consists of seven lawyers. The firm was established in 2003 in Shanghai and has established two offices overseas - Chicago and Dublin.
