Chen Peng

Attorney Peng Chen has 13 years of legal practice experience and is a partner at DHHT Shanghai Office. He was selected for the Chambers High Net Worth Guide in the private wealth category for 2026, specializing in providing one-stop comprehensive legal services for high-net-worth individuals in the private wealth sector. His core differentiator is his capability in handling criminal-civil crossover matters—he can precisely identify criminal risk boundaries in matrimonial/family disputes, debt crises, and asset enforcement matters, and comprehensively apply civil, criminal, and enforcement legal tools to achieve breakthroughs in extremely difficult situations. Clients highly commend his "exceptional ability in risk prediction and courtroom situation foresight."

Attorney Peng particularly excels in representing high-net-worth family disputes involving division of core assets such as listed company equity and real estate, as well as complex wealth protection matters including entrepreneur guarantee liability resolution, family asset isolation, and enforcement objections, with matter values ranging from millions to over one hundred million yuan. Through mature strategy development and full-process coordination of litigation and non-litigation approaches, he has repeatedly obtained court rulings in favor of his clients, maximizing client interests.

Attorney Peng graduated from Shanghai University of Political Science and Law with a Master of Laws degree, holds securities and fund practice qualifications, and previously practiced at major domestic firms including AllBright Law Offices and Haihua Yongtai Law Firm. He currently serves as a registered partner at DHHT Shanghai Office, Co-Director of the DHHT Shanghai Private Equity Investment and M&A Committee, member of the Family and Family Wealth Management Committee, and Chairperson of the Women Lawyers Working Committee. His public service roles include Community Legal Advisor for Kangjian Subdistrict Justice Office in Xuhui District, Women's Federation Executive Committee Member for Tianlin Subdistrict Residential Committee, and Grassroots Legal Observer for Xuhui District. He also serves as a lecturer for Sijing Park in Songjiang District and Youyi Road Subdistrict Park in Baoshan District. Attorney Peng is actively committed to professional knowledge sharing in private wealth and cross-border law, having led and moderated multiple firm and industry association seminars.

At the professional level, Attorney Peng has achieved multiple breakthrough results in criminal-civil crossover enforcement: in an extreme situation where a debtor owed RMB 153 million and ordinary creditor recovery rate was only 1.7%, he successfully secured full division of the non-liable spouse's share of co-owned assets and reserved relocation allowance, with both rights not participating in ordinary creditor distribution, achieving a groundbreaking court ruling that established rules for similar cases. In Shanghai's first foreign-related inheritance case applying Article 1131 of the Civil Code (the "discretionary legacy allocation system"), he represented a non-biological stepchild who successfully obtained an equal share to that of statutory heirs. In a highly contentious divorce dispute where both parties were senior lawyers, he verified hundreds of pages of bank statements item by item, precisely identified nearly 100 alteration marks, and prompted the court to initiate perjury judicial disciplinary proceedings.
