About

Provided by Zhong Lun Law Firm

Our health, safety and environmental protection practice is highly professional and dedicated and has been consistently ranked in Band 1 by Chambers for years in succession.  In addition to comprehensive and one-stop legal services we offer businesses in mainland China regarding both contentious and non-contentious issues in this area, we also help our clients comply with environmental laws of overseas investment destinations, fulfill their obligations of international environmental protection, handle international civil and commercial cases involving environmental matters, and deal with international environmental pollution incidents.

This is corroborated in part by the fact that we served or are serving as legal counsel for quite a few ministries, commissions, and other governmental departments of China, including the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Department of Ecology and Environment of Jiangsu Province, which has enriched us with a sound knowledge of Chinese environmental regulatory policies. At the same time, we have also long advised numerous state-owned enterprises, multinationals, and large private businesses on health, safety and environmental protection compliance.

We have represented our clients in plenty of ecological and environmental private and public interest litigation cases, some of which were enlisted as “Top 10 National Civil and Administrative Cases of the Year” by the Supreme People’s Court.
