Jack Li

Jack Li, a partner in the Beijing office of Fangda Partners, has been named Venture Capital Investment Lawyer of the Year in China at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. The recognition reflects his standing as a corporate and investment practitioner at one of China's leading commercial law firms and his work supporting investors and companies through the funding of high-growth businesses.

Fangda Partners was established in 1993 and is widely regarded as one of China's premier commercial law firms, serving clients across mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The firm focuses on mergers and acquisitions, private equity, commercial litigation and arbitration, bankruptcy and the capital markets, and has been recognised in successive years as a China Law Firm of the Year and a leading China law firm. Its private equity and venture capital practice is consistently ranked among the strongest in the market.

As a partner in Fangda's private equity and mergers and acquisitions team in Beijing, Jack Li advises on the investments through which capital is deployed into growing companies. Venture capital investment is a natural focus of this practice, encompassing the financing rounds, shareholder arrangements and governance terms that shape the relationship between founders and their investors. His work supports both the funds that invest and the companies that raise capital, across the stages of a company's growth.

Advising on venture capital in China requires close attention to deal structuring, investor protections and the regulatory framework governing domestic and foreign investment. Term sheets, subscription and shareholders' agreements, and exit mechanics all demand a lawyer who can balance commercial ambition with legal certainty. Working at a firm known for its market-leading investment practice, Jack Li helps clients negotiate and document financings that stand up over the life of an investment.

Being named Venture Capital Investment Lawyer of the Year in China at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards places Jack Li among the country's recognised investment lawyers and affirms the reputation he has built at Fangda Partners. It reflects the confidence that funds, founders and companies place in senior counsel when capital is put to work in China's innovation economy.
