Practice Focus

White-collar defense and counseling covers fraud, embezzlement, corruption-related exposure, and securities market offenses that draw criminal investigation. Corporate clients need internal investigation protocols that do not create avoidable waiver or obstruction risk; individuals need early rights protection and document strategy.

Cross-border finance and trading facts require careful handling of electronic evidence, fund flows, and expert accounting input.

Working Method

• Hold notices and data collection plans defined on day one
• Privilege and interview scripts for internal reviews
• Fund-flow and document chronologies suitable for prosecutors and courts
• Resolution options assessed only after factual control is established

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 White-collar Crime matters.

Local Practice in Chengdu

Chengdu's courts, labor arbitration institutions, and administrative bureaus follow national law while applying local filing practices on evidence formatting, appointment scheduling, and mediation windows. Counsel familiar with Sichuan practice can reduce avoidable adjournments by preparing bilingual exhibit indexes, aligning stamp and authorization papers early, and anticipating which disputes are steered toward mediation before substantive hearings. Business and family clients based in western China often coordinate with headquarters in coastal cities; structured reporting keeps remote stakeholders aligned without slowing local deadlines.

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. Zhi Tang 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 White-collar Crime matters. Where specialized appraisal, forensic accounting, or medical input is needed, external experts are engaged with clear instructions and confidentiality terms.
