Practice Focus

Criminal investigation defense emphasizes early intervention: understanding measures imposed, protecting interview rights, organizing exculpatory materials, and communicating with investigating authorities through lawful channels. Foreign nationals require additional attention to language access and consular processes.

Counseling covers bail and non-custodial measures where available, document production strategy, and preparation for charging decisions. Families receive structured updates so decisions about experts, sureties, and public statements remain coherent.

Working Method

• Rights and timeline briefing within the first engagement window
• Evidence map distinguishing helpful, neutral, and harmful materials
• Strict control of client and family communications about the case
• Contingency planning for arrest approval, indictment, or release paths

Case management discipline includes privilege logging for counsel communications, version control for bilingual drafts, and explicit allocation of who may instruct local agents or file materials with relevant authorities in Criminal Investigations matters.

Local Practice in Shanghai

Local filing logistics, mediation culture, and evidence formalities in Shanghai can affect timing even when the governing statutes are national. Engagement planning accounts for court or arbitration calendars, translation lead time, and the need for properly authorized corporate representatives. Clients outside mainland China receive practical schedules that distinguish hard statutory deadlines from soft administrative expectations.

Clients who operate across borders receive bilingual summaries after key milestones. Those summaries state what changed, what decisions are needed, and what the next calendar risks are. This discipline is especially important for headquarters counsel, insurers, or family members who must approve strategy without attending every local meeting. Jun Zhang also flags where a business or personal decision outside the legal lane—such as public statements, abrupt employee actions, or informal payments—could damage the legal position.

Statutory amendments, Supreme People's Court guidance, and local practice notes are monitored for Criminal Investigations matters. Where specialized appraisal, forensic accounting, or medical input is needed, external experts are engaged with clear instructions and confidentiality terms.
