Peter Jiang is an attorney and founding partner of the C&M Law Office, which has bases in both Beijing and Shanghai.
He was one of the pioneers of private practice in China, and was one of the first non-State-affiliated attorneys in the country when such practices were finally allowed on a trial basis in 1992. Said trial was obviously successful, as private firms have been officially permitted since 2000.
C&M stands for Commercial & Maritime, and indeed those are two of Peter’s main areas of expertise. Other than that, C&M offer services in arbitration & litigation, aviation, corporate, import-export and intellectual property law as well as many more. In all areas of the law, though, Peter’s specialty is the representation of foreign clients in China, and as such he is an invaluable resource to GJN.
Peter is also well-known for his legal activism and pushes for liberalization, tendencies that have occasionally brought him into conflict with authorities in his home country.
