Brief description:

GONG Chu (Oscar) started his foreign legal service lawyer career in 2005 and he now focuses on litigation and arbitration. In 2015 Lawyer Gong created his own law firm CHINA LAW FIRM, GUANGDONG, then in 2022 he created HUGE LAW FIRM, which is growing steadily. HUGE is actually the Chinese pinyin for its Chinese name which means Tiger Spear. However, lawyer Gong is optimistic that Huge Law Firm will become really huge one day.  Lawyer Gong has processed many cases of different categories with foreign factors involved, and he has processed around 100 criminal cases involved with foreign factors, which are mainly cases of drug trafficking, hacking fraud, trade fraud, homicide & personal injury, etc., such as: Defending a heroine trafficking suspect from Pakistan, Defending a marijuana trafficking suspect from UK, Defending a marijuana trafficking suspect from the USA, Defending a mainland Chinese homicide suspect who killed a Hong Kong citizen, Defending a suspect of intentional injury from UK. A foreign language speaking Chinese lawyer who is experienced in criminal defense could bring better result with higher efficiency for a foreign suspect than other Chinese lawyers who need assistance from an interpreter/translator in the defending work. For example, the better result with higher efficiency in foreign criminal suspect defense can be reached by Lawyer Gong through his work including but not limited to: Visiting the suspect directly and communicating freely with him/her; Communicating with his/her family member(s), colleague(s) and/or friend(s) directly; Communicating with or reporting to the embassy/consulate personnel that are sent from the suspect’s country to China, needing no help from a language worker. All these work, if put together, may result in elimination of worries and concerns and misunderstandings that often lead to wrongful/unfair comments to Chinese justice also the embassies/consulates of the suspect’s homeland to China to the largest extent.

Lawyer Gong has processed around 500 civil and commercial cases contentious and non-contentious, he also works as arbitrator at several arbitration commissions and has heard and decided many cases.

Advantage:

Very few Chinese lawyers hold CATTI certificate i.e. China National Professional Translator Certificate. This certificate is important as in all cases involved with foreign factors a Chinese lawyer needs a translator, but with this certificate the lawyer can both be an attorney at law and a professional translator in front of the judges/arbitration commissions. This makes the work of the lawyer more convincing in front of the judges and arbitrators. Lawyer Gong holds CATTI certificate for English, and he got good points in CATTI qualification tests for Spanish and Japanese. His French is also good enough to deal with French materials.

Lawyer Liu is with rich working experiences and he deals with comprehensive legal affairs such as enterprise, private, criminal law, labor law and other law items.
