Client feedback
“They have professionalism in the field and are business-savvy.” – Technology and telecommunications
Buyinnasen Ji
“The plaintiff initiated legal proceedings at the Guangdong Provincial High People's Court, seeking a claim exceeding $27.5 million (Rmb200 million), nearly ten times their original investment. In 2020, the High People's Court issued a judgment awarding the plaintiff compensation exceeding $18.2 million (Rmb132 million). Under such unfavourable circumstances, DeHeng Law Offices was entrusted with representing our interests, and attorney Buyinnasen Ji acted as our representative. In the second-instance trial, presided over by the Supreme People's Court of China, attorney Ji achieved a favourable verdict. This led to the case being remanded to the Guangdong Provincial High People's Court for retrial. During the first-instance retrial, attorney Ji successfully reduced the compensation amount to approximately $5.24 million (Rmb38 million), resulting in a 70% reduction in our losses. In the second-instance retrial heard by the Supreme People's Court of China, attorney Ji successfully represented us to uphold the revised judgment in February 2024.”
