Chance Bridge Law Firm

What Chance Bridge Law Firm does

Chance Bridge Law Firm (北京卓纬律师事务所) is a Beijing-headquartered, partnership-structured PRC law firm founded in 2011 that provides specialist legal services to large corporates, state-owned enterprises, financial institutions, and government bodies across China. The firm operates through four physical offices (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Haikou) and nine practice areas: Capital Markets, Financial Markets, Corporate, International Trade and Compliance, Construction and Real Estate, Intellectual Property, Competition and Antitrust, Dispute Resolution, and Criminal Law. Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed on an engagement basis (hourly, fixed fees, and success fees), with no SaaS, API, or proprietary technology products; the firm's technology footprint is limited to internal OA and NetEase enterprise email.

The firm's commercial identity is anchored in two concentrations of expertise. First, a financial-institution litigation and dispute resolution practice representing clients such as Ping An Trust, China Construction Bank, China Minsheng Bank, China Huarong Capital, and CITIC Securities in matters running into billions of RMB, including Supreme People's Court trust-loan disputes and asset-disposal mandates. Second, an international trade and compliance practice led by partner Pu Lingchen, ranked Band 1 in Chambers International Trade/WTO for 16 consecutive years, defending Chinese exporters and MOFCOM in anti-dumping and countervailing proceedings in the EU, US, Canada, Brazil, and India. Major recent mandates include the RMB 9.7 billion Jinchuan Nickel and Cobalt private-equity financing (a record in China's non-ferrous metals sector) and successful lowest-tariff outcomes in EU titanium-dioxide and Brazilian agricultural-tire sunset reviews.

The firm has no external shareholders or institutional capital. Its go-to-market is partner-led enterprise field sales leveraging directory rankings (Chambers, IFLR1000, ALB, Legal 500, LegalOne), thought-leadership publications through its in-house 卓纬研究 platform, and cross-border coordination via exclusive Chinese-mainland membership in the Ally Law global network (joined June 2025) and a strategic partnership with UAE-based ADG Legal signed in October 2025.
