About the Firm

A boutique law firm in Beijing, acting for foreign businesses and individuals on Chinese law.

Baokun Law Firm is a boutique law firm based in Beijing. We act for foreign businesses and individuals on the legal questions that come with investing, operating and resolving disputes in China — and we act to protect their position under Chinese law.

The firm was founded to address a straightforward problem. Foreign individuals and small and medium-sized businesses have often found it hard to obtain proper Chinese legal advice, because the market is built around large multinationals. Our purpose is to close that gap — to make advice on Chinese law genuinely accessible to the businesses and individuals who need it, whatever the size of the matter.

Our lawyers work in English and Mandarin, and bring both a close understanding of Chinese law and the experience to apply it. Rather than staffing matters with large teams, the lawyers who win the work do the work — so clients speak directly to the people responsible for their case.

How We Work

  • Senior lawyers throughout. The partner you brief is the partner who runs your matter.
  • English and Mandarin. We work in both, and we negotiate and draft in the language the counterparty uses — so nothing turns on a translation.
  • The same care, whatever the size of the matter. A modest instruction gets the same attention as a large one, and we agree our fee with you before work begins.
  • Clear scoping and plain reporting. We set out the process, the deliverables and the likely timeline before we start, and tell you where things stand as the matter moves.

How We Work sets out the whole process, from your first email to the close of a matter.
