Represented a Guangdong branch of one of the four major asset management companies in a series of non-performing debt transfer cases, with a total claim amount of approximately 2 billion RMB. The cases involved complex legal issues such as non-financial debt acquisitions, authenticity of underlying debts, and malicious collusion. Achieved favorable judgments in the first instance, second instance, and retrial proceedings. During the enforcement phase, despite numerous enforcement objection lawsuits obstructing execution—including "ensuring property delivery" claims and challenges to mortgage rights by various types of homebuyers—successfully disposed of core assets and assisted the client in recovering the debts.

Represented a real estate joint-stock company in a corporate veil piercing dispute. After intervening in the second instance, successfully reversed the first-instance judgment, which had held that the shareholder and the single-member company were alter egos and thus jointly liable, by constructing an effective evidence strategy, continuously strengthening evidence, and engaging in multiple rounds of written communication. This led to internal court discussions and clarified the burden of proof standards for corporate veil piercing. The second instance ultimately overturned the ruling, concluding that the shareholder was not liable for joint and several obligations.

Represented a state-owned listed company in a series of connected sales contract disputes with a wholly-owned subsidiary of another listed company, with a dispute amount of 11 million RMB. Faced with the unfavorable situation of malicious selective recourse by upstream and downstream parties and a loss in the first instance, successfully persuaded the second-instance court to remand the case for retrial. During the retrial, arguments were centered on core issues such as the authenticity of the transactions, proof of delivery obligations, and the validity of "back-to-back" clauses. Ultimately, the court dismissed all of the plaintiff's claims, achieving a complete reversal of the outcome.

Represented a bank in a series of trust loan contract disputes against a corporate group, its affiliated companies, and a foreign guarantor, with a total claim amount of approximately 2 billion RMB.
