Practice Focus
Practice Focus Good counsel is not slogans. Local industry patterns matter. Matters often involve multi-party contracts, local partner dynamics, employment changes, IP leakage risk, and regulatory exposure. Many problems arise from incomplete board minutes, missing bilingual versions, or oral modifications that contradict written contracts. She also advises on internal governance for China subsidiaries: signature authority matrices, chop management, dual-language templates, and escalation paths. Local administrative practice can differ from textbook national rules, so early confirmation of forms and appointment windows is part of standard matter planning. Working Method She currently practices at Yongchuan Trademarks Law Firm, where her work combines transactional drafting, regulatory filings, and dispute strategy. Shortcuts that save a week of paperwork can later cost months of remediation. Strong internal controls reduce emergency litigation later. Follow-on work may include negotiation support, filing packages, and dispute preparation when commercial leverage changes. She graduated from Renmin University of China and is a member of the local bar association. She regularly translates complex statutory language into operational steps for non-Chinese speakers. Professional development remains continuous. In settlement discussions, Duan Wei prepares BATNA analyses grounded in Chinese procedure. With those materials, She can usually provide an initial risk map within a commercially useful window.
