Zhong Lun Law Firm (中伦) has added two partners to its maritime and arbitration practice. The two new additions are Niu Lei （牛磊） and Li Chenbiao （李晨飚）, both of whom joined the firm from Global Law Office （环球）.
Niu focuses on maritime, shipping, arbitration and litigation. Prior to his time at Global, Niu was deputy secretary-general of China Maritime Arbitration Commission. Niu, an arbitrator with the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, China Maritime Arbitration Commission and Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, has dealt with nearly 100 domestic and international arbitration cases during his career.
Li's main practice also includes shipping, as well as insurance and international trade. Before joining Global, Li was a partner at GL & CO. Law Firm (格林). He also has experience working in-house after a stint with shipping giant COSCO （中远） in Guangzhou.
The appointments cap off a busy month for Zhong Lun on the lateral hire front. A little over four weeks ago, the firm hired two former partners from AllBright Law Offices （锦天城）, Bao Wei （包伟）and Wei Guojun （魏国俊） for its Shanghai office, while Zhou Yacheng （周亚成）,a former partner of Beijing Huatang Law Firm （华堂）, joined Zhong Lun’s Beijing office.
