AnJie Law Firm recently appointed three new partners to join its Beijing office, including an intellectual property (IP) veteran and two private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) experts.
James Ma is experienced in patents, trade secrets, trademarks and unfair competition disputes and other IP issues, as well as complicated commercial disputes in China. He has worked for many multinationals and domestic companies in protecting their IP rights and handling disputes.
Xie Yongtao focuses on PE/VC, initial public offerings (IPOs), competition law, outbound investment and corporate matters. He has advised clients on offshore and onshore IPO transactions.
Echo Zhao is experienced in PE/VC, cross-border M&A and private wealth management, and served as both general counsel and Asia-Pacific general counsel of multiple multinationals. She has handled major contract negotiations throughout China, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

A senior executive of Beijing-headquartered AnJie recently told Asia Business Law Journal that the firm’s newly launched Shenzhen office begins an expansion that may see the firm target western China next.
Zhan Hao, managing partner of AnJie, said Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen were China’s most economically developed cities and their demands for legal services were also the strongest. So it was a natural choice to open AnJie’s third office in Shenzhen, following the Beijing and Shanghai offices. The launch of the Shenzhen office continues AnJie’s strategy to develop into
a national law firm.
