Cao Jiacheng

Attorney Cao’s practice areas encompass the recovery of non-performing bank loans, bankruptcy administrator services, and civil and commercial litigation. He primarily handles banking and financial litigation cases, covering the entire process from asset preservation and litigation to enforcement. He provides legal services such as loan recovery and asset disposal for multiple Chinese and foreign banks. He has also led or participated in several cases where banks were defendants, including disputes over trustee liability, disputes concerning the suitability obligations of distribution institutions, and savings contract disputes. Additionally, Attorney Cao serves as a member of administrator teams, leading bankruptcy liquidation and compulsory liquidation cases for Shanghai courts. In this role, he is responsible for tasks such as taking over and disposing of bankrupt companies’ assets.

Has long provided legal services for litigation, notarization, and enforcement in financial loan cases to both Chinese and foreign banks, such as Hang Seng Bank, China Zheshang Bank, Industrial Bank, Bank of Nanjing, China CITIC Bank, China Bohai Bank, HSBC, among others.

Represented a Shanghai branch of a bank joint-stock company in a financial loan contract dispute lawsuit against a real estate company, among others. Within three months of entering the enforcement phase, successfully assisted the enforcement judge in disposing of shares held by the judgment debtor, a listed company.

Represented a bank in a fund contract dispute with a natural person investor. Successfully provided evidence that the bank had fulfilled its duties of honesty, good faith, prudence, and diligence as a fund custodian and was therefore not liable for compensation for the investor's losses. This case served as a model case in court for such fund products.

Participated in representing a commercial bank as defendant in a custody business lawsuit. This case was adjudicated at three levels of courts—the primary court, the financial court, and the high court—all of which upheld the claim of no liability for compensation. It holds significant illustrative value for determining custodian liability in situations where fund managers are involved in criminal activities or have absconded.

Represented a leading online literature enterprise in filing a lawsuit against a well-known website platform to protect intellectual property rights regarding a large number of works published under the same name and plagiarized works on its literary platform. Through meticulous evidence collection, comprehensive organization, and in-depth pre-trial and in-court investigation, successfully countered the defendant's "safe harbor" defense claim, ultimately achieving a highly satisfactory compensation outcome.
