Who We Are

A Full-Service Firm Behind a Specialized Criminal Team

Zhiheng Law Firm (Shanghai) was established on October 9, 2023 in Lujiazui, Pudong — the twelfth directly invested and managed branch in Zhiheng's global network, and a key step in the firm's "rooted in the Greater Bay Area, deep across China, reaching globally" strategy.

The Shanghai office occupies the 41st floor of Times Financial Center, with client reception rooms, multifunction conference facilities and private counsel offices — a professional setting for confidential family consultations, in person or by video.

For our clients, a full-service firm matters: foreign-related criminal cases frequently intersect with corporate compliance, customs, taxation and civil disputes. Our criminal defense team draws on nine in-house departments, so a business dispute that turns criminal is handled under one roof.
