Li Gang

Li Gang is a partner at Boss & Young Attorneys-At-Law, a full-service Chinese law firm that provides comprehensive legal services from a network of offices across China. Practising in the firm's litigation and dispute-resolution field, he has been recognised as Litigation Lawyer of the Year in China at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 – a distinction that reflects both his standing as a litigator and the strength of the firm within which he works.

Boss & Young: a full-service Chinese firm

Boss & Young is a substantial Chinese practice with a strong service team and a wide-ranging offering that spans more than thirty specialised practice areas. These include dispute resolution and litigation, mergers and acquisitions and corporate restructuring, capital markets and asset securitisation, private equity and venture capital, banking, insurance and trust, real estate and urban renewal, construction and infrastructure, bankruptcy and liquidation, anti-monopoly and competition law, compliance and regulatory matters, administrative litigation, intellectual property, international trade and investment, labour law, energy and natural resources, and emerging fields such as ESG. This breadth allows the firm to serve corporate and institutional clients across the full range of legal needs that arise in a complex and fast-developing economy.

The firm operates from a large network of offices spread across China, including its base in Shanghai together with locations in Beijing, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Ningbo, Xiamen, Zhengzhou, Jiaxing, Fuzhou, Hefei and beyond. This national footprint is a significant advantage in litigation and dispute resolution, where matters may be heard before courts in different provinces and cities. A firm with offices across the country is well placed to represent clients wherever a dispute arises and to coordinate multi-jurisdictional proceedings within China.

Litigation and dispute resolution

Litigation is one of the most demanding areas of legal practice, calling for a combination of analytical rigour, procedural mastery and persuasive advocacy. A litigator must be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a case, develop a strategy, marshal evidence and present a client's position effectively before the courts. As a partner practising in this field at a firm of Boss & Young's scale, Li Gang works on contentious matters for the firm's clients, drawing on the wider resources of a full-service practice when disputes touch on corporate, financial, regulatory or other specialist questions.

The value of litigation expertise sitting within a broad, multi-disciplinary firm is considerable. Commercial disputes rarely concern a single issue in isolation; they often involve underlying contractual, corporate, regulatory or financial matters that require input from other specialists. A litigator embedded in a firm that also handles M&A, capital markets, banking, real estate, competition and intellectual property work can call on colleagues across these areas to build the strongest possible case for a client.

Serving clients in a major economy

China is one of the world's largest economies, and the volume and complexity of commercial activity there generate a corresponding demand for skilled dispute-resolution lawyers. Both domestic enterprises and international businesses operating in the country need advisers who can protect their interests when disagreements escalate into formal proceedings. Through Boss & Young's extensive national network and its wide-ranging practice, Li Gang is positioned to represent clients in litigation across the country and across the many sectors in which the firm is active.

The firm's activity in fields such as bankruptcy and liquidation, anti-monopoly and competition law, administrative litigation and compliance is closely allied to dispute resolution, since contested matters frequently arise where companies fail, where regulators intervene or where competitors clash. A litigation partner working within a firm that also advises across these adjacent areas is well equipped to handle disputes that straddle the boundary between private commercial conflict and public regulation, offering clients a rounded response to the full range of contentious situations they may face.

His recognition as Litigation Lawyer of the Year in China at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 highlights his capability as a dispute-resolution practitioner and the quality of the litigation service that Boss & Young Attorneys-At-Law provides to clients navigating contentious matters in one of the world's most important markets.
