As 2023 comes to a close, Chang Tsi & Partners has once again captured a significant award—our partner Michael Fu has been honored on the LEGALBAND "Client Choice: Top 15 Foreign-Related Lawyers" list, a testament to the professional prowess and market recognition of Chang Tsi attorneys.
In recent years, as China has been advancing the construction of a domestic and international dual circulation pattern and is committed to high-level openness, the interconnectedness of domestic and international markets has continually increased. With China strengthening its opening up and international cooperation, Chinese enterprises have a clear "going global" strategy, which has also attracted a substantial amount of foreign investment. Under this backdrop, the demand for foreign-related legal services has seen a rapid growth.
Based on meticulous reviews of recommendations from various law firms, self-nominations by lawyers, and client feedback, and combined with LEGALBAND's on-the-ground research team’s long-term focus and insight into foreign-related legal services, the "Top 15 Foreign-Related Lawyers" list has been finalized, featuring 15 favored lawyers in this field.
These outstanding foreign-related lawyers have profound legal knowledge, an international perspective, and an in-depth understanding of the legal environments both at home and abroad. They can provide professional services in areas like foreign litigation, international arbitration, and cross-border investments, assisting clients in smoothly conducting business in the complex international arena.
Our Partner Michael Fu has been dedicated to the field of intellectual property legal services for over 15 years, amassing extensive legal practice experience in trademarks, copyrights, domain names, industrial design, and IP enforcement. His portfolio of representative clients includes leading enterprises such as Mondelēz International, Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors, Under Armour, and Four Seasons.
Fu successfully represented Intercontinental Great Brands LLC in an IP rights litigation case for the well-known chewing gum brand Stride, ultimately assisting the brand in achieving cross-category IP rights protection in China and protecting the client's legal interests to the fullest. During the IP litigation process, Fu is adept at taking a macroscopic view of the overall situation while focusing on the details and core points of contention, proposing litigation strategies that consider both business interests and litigation goals, thus earning an excellent reputation. "Michael Fu is a reliable and trustworthy attorney. He understands current legal practices and always proposes appropriate solutions to complex issues. We highly value the legal services provided by Michael Fu's team."
We are honored to announce that at the Legal 500 2023 China Awards, Spring Chang, the founding partner of Chang Tsi & Partners, has been awarded the "IP Lawyer of the Year", becoming the sole recipient of this prestigious accolade. This honor not only validates Chang's exceptional capabilities and commitment in the field of intellectual property law but also fully recognizes the exquisite legal services provided by the Chang Tsi team.
