Hui Xu

Hui Xu, Chief Representative of Latham & Watkins’ Beijing office and head of Latham & Watkins’ China litigation and investigations practices, represents clients in multi-jurisdictional litigation, government investigations and enforcement, and compliance matters. As one of the few battle-tested regulatory investigation and litigation lawyers in top international law firms in China, Hui is widely renowned for his representation of Chinese companies and individuals in complex cross-border litigations, particularly those in the US.

Hui regularly advises Chinese and global clients across industries — particularly in financial services, technology, and life sciences — on matters related to:

- Complex commercial and IP litigation

- Government investigations and enforcement related to data privacy, FCPA, export control and sanctions, and antitrust

- Compliance, including related to transactions and developing compliance programs and policies

Hui also assists clients by liaising with regulators in the US and China, presenting findings, and developing strategies to resolve situations short of litigation.

He helps clients bridge regulatory, linguistic, and cultural gaps between parties. He draws on extensive experience in China and leverages his skill of managing a global team with relevant expertise to handle clients’ sensitive or high-risk matters.

Prior to private practice, Hui was a member of the in-house legal department at the China Chamber of Commerce under the Ministry of Commerce of China, where he handled trade remedy, intellectual property, and World Trade Organization matters.
