Chinese Law Firm in London — Bilingual Solicitors

A Specialist Chinese Law Firm in the Heart of London

Duan & Duan UK LLP is a specialist Chinese law firm based in London's legal district at Middle Temple. As the UK office of Duan & Duan — an international Chinese law firm with over 40 offices and 2,000 lawyers worldwide — we provide bilingual legal services in English, Mandarin and Cantonese to Chinese individuals, British Chinese families, and businesses with connections to China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Founded in 2019 by two experienced British Chinese solicitors, the firm combines deep knowledge of English law with genuine understanding of Chinese business culture and legal systems. Whether you are a Chinese national living in the UK, a British Chinese family, or a business operating between the UK and Greater China, our team is uniquely placed to advise you.

Why Choose a Chinese Law Firm in London?

Navigating the English legal system can be challenging, particularly when English is not your first language or when your legal matter has a cross-border dimension involving China or another jurisdiction in the Asia-Pacific region. A Chinese law firm in London offers distinct advantages.

Our solicitors communicate fluently in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, ensuring you fully understand your legal position, the options available to you, and the advice being given. There is no risk of miscommunication or cultural misunderstanding. We explain complex English legal concepts clearly and in the language you are most comfortable with.

Beyond language, our team understands the cultural context in which Chinese clients operate. Business relationships, family structures, attitudes to dispute resolution, and expectations around professional service all differ between English and Chinese culture. A British Chinese law firm with genuine cross-cultural expertise can bridge that gap effectively.

Our Legal Services for Chinese Clients

We advise Chinese-speaking clients across a comprehensive range of practice areas under English law:

Dispute Resolution and Litigation — Commercial disputes, shareholder and investor disputes, fraud and asset recovery, landlord and tenant disputes, and professional negligence claims. We handle cases at all levels of the English court system, including cross-border disputes involving Chinese and English jurisdictions, worldwide freezing orders, and enforcement of foreign judgments.

Criminal Defence — Representation from investigation through to trial, including fraud, money laundering, Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) matters, account freezing orders, and food safety prosecutions. Our criminal defence team provides robust representation and clear advice in your language.

Immigration — Personal immigration including work visas, family visas, settlement, and British citizenship. Corporate immigration including sponsor licences, Skilled Worker visas, and compliance. Immigration appeals and judicial review for refused applications.

Commercial Law — Company formation, commercial contracts, shareholders' agreements, share purchase agreements, joint ventures, data protection, and consumer contracts. We advise Chinese businesses establishing or expanding operations in the UK, and UK businesses operating in China.

Employment Law — Acting for both employers and employees on contracts, disputes, tribunal claims, redundancies, and settlement agreements. We advise Chinese-owned businesses in the UK on their obligations under English employment law.

Family and Divorce — Divorce, financial settlements, children's law, and cohabitation disputes. We have particular expertise in international family cases involving China, Hong Kong and Singapore, where jurisdictional questions and cross-border asset structures add complexity.

Reputation Management — Online reputation management, corporate reputation protection, and defamation, harassment and blackmail matters.

Cross-Border Expertise Between the UK and China

Many of our clients face legal issues that span both the UK and Chinese jurisdictions. Our team has specialist experience advising on matters where English law and Chinese law intersect — from enforcing Chinese court judgments in England to advising Chinese families on UK immigration, property, and succession planning.

As part of the international Duan & Duan network, we can coordinate with colleagues across China, Hong Kong, and other jurisdictions to deliver joined-up legal advice for cross-border matters. This international capability, combined with our London-based English law expertise, makes us a natural choice for Chinese clients with legal needs in the United Kingdom.

Our British Chinese Legal Team

Our solicitors are qualified to practise English law and are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Several members of our team are British Chinese, bringing both professional legal expertise and genuine cultural understanding. The firm is led by partners Jackson Ng MCIArb and Leon Chua, both of whom have over 15 years of experience practising law in England and Wales.

We are proud to serve the Chinese community in the UK and to provide a legal service that genuinely understands the needs of Chinese-speaking clients.
