Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, located in China’s far west, has seen the establishment of its first 100-lawyer firm after Xinjiang Baifeng Hengrui Law Firm was set up.

The 116-lawyer Baifeng Hengrui was created following the merger of two local firms in October last year: Xinjiang Baifeng Tianyuan Law Firm and Xinjing Hengrui Law Firm. 

The newly merged firm will focus on venture capital investment, intellectual property protection, and other general legal advice, in industries like energy and chemicals, machinery and manufacturing, and technology. 

The firm has 12 specialized committees in the areas such as criminal, civil and commercial, administrative, non-litigation, cross-border, and legal aid. All teams report directly to the firm’s director, Yun Sang, a dispute resolution lawyer who has handled more than 1300 litigation cases in a career spanning almost three decades.
