PRACTICE AREAS · 业务领域

Focused expertise, cross-border by design

Three practice areas, one perspective: the law as it works in China, explained in language international clients actually use.

Civil & Commercial

民商事业务

Contracts, corporate matters and commercial disputes under PRC law — from negotiation to litigation and enforcement.

Intellectual Property

知识产权

Trademark, copyright and IP strategy for foreign brands entering China — and for Chinese innovations going global.

Foreign-Related Matters

涉外业务

Cross-border transactions, investment structures and personal matters with Chinese legal touchpoints, handled bilingually.

WHO WE SERVE · 服务人群

If your matter touches China, start here

Foreign businesses entering China, overseas Chinese with affairs back home, and foreign nationals building a life here — different needs, one requirement: counsel who knows the Chinese system from the inside and works in your language.

Foreign Businesses

海外企业

Entering or operating in the Chinese market — entity setup, contracts, IP protection, and disputes with Chinese counterparties.

Overseas Chinese

海外华人

Property, inheritance, marriage and family matters back in China — handled remotely, in Mandarin or English, no flight home required.

房产、继承、婚姻家事——远程办理，无需专程回国。

Foreign Individuals

来华外国人

Working, launching a business or building a life in China — work permits, employment, company formation, residence and personal matters.

WHY LIYUAN YANG · 个人优势

Counsel with an uncommon toolkit

Truly Bilingual

中英双语办案

Advice, contracts and negotiations delivered in fluent English and Mandarin — nothing lost in translation.

Scholar-Practitioner

A PhD who still argues cases: university-grade research rigor applied to every client matter.

Australia-Trained

澳洲七年法学训练

Seven years of law and business training in Sydney and Melbourne — fluent in common-law thinking.

Cross-Border Focus

涉外业务聚焦

A practice built around the China–foreign interface: IP protection, market entry and cross-border disputes.

PROFILE · 个人简介

A lawyer who teaches the law — and practises it

Based in Shijiazhuang and trained in Australia, Liyuan Yang divides his time between the courtroom and the classroom. As Director of the Law Department at Shijiazhuang Tiedao University and a practising attorney at Hebei Sanhe Shidai Law Firm, he brings academic rigour to every client matter — and real-world cases back into his teaching. For overseas clients, that means advice that is both technically sound and plainly explained.
