The firm generates revenue through professional services fees structured as hourly billing, fixed per-matter fees, and success fees on transactions, following the standard full-service law firm model. JunHe acquires clients primarily through its exclusive Chinese membership in the Lex Mundi and Multilaw international legal networks (covering 100+ and 150+ jurisdictions respectively), professional reputation, partner-led business development, and publications on regulatory developments. Notable mandates include the Hong Kong listing of UISEE Technology (L4 autonomous driving), the COSCO Shipping RMB8 billion A-share issue, offshore debt restructurings for Shimao and Evergrande, and board advisory for Indaptus Therapeutics.

JunHe holds 1,001-5,000 employees and remains a private partnership with no public listing, external investors, or disclosed parent company. The firm pursues growth primarily through lateral partner recruitment from international firms and in-house counsel, internal partner promotions, and expansion of practice areas tied to emerging Chinese regulatory regimes such as outbound investment national security reviews.
