A Beijing firm with global ambitions

Guozun Law Firm is headquartered in the Chaoyang District of Beijing and describes itself as based in China while serving clients around the world. The firm emphasises the scale of its practice, pointing to a large body of global clients, and it presents itself as a firm whose lawyers work to uphold justice through their legal expertise. Its international outlook and substantial client base provide the platform from which it offers specialised services, including in data protection, an area where Chinese and international rules increasingly intersect. As Global Management Committee Chairman, Feng Yueping sits at the centre of the firm's strategy and leadership.

Data protection law in China

Data protection has become one of the most significant areas of legal risk and compliance for businesses operating in China. In recent years China has built a comprehensive framework governing personal information and data security, imposing detailed obligations on how organisations collect, use, store and transfer data, including across borders. For domestic and multinational companies alike, navigating these rules is now essential, and the consequences of getting compliance wrong can be serious. A firm with a dedicated focus on data protection helps clients understand their obligations, build compliant systems and manage the risks that arise when handling personal and sensitive data.

Data protection practices typically support clients with matters such as:

• Advising on compliance with China's data protection and data security laws
• Guidance on cross-border transfers of personal information
• Data governance, policies and internal compliance systems
• Managing data-related risk in transactions and operations
• Responding to data protection incidents and regulatory scrutiny

Leadership and international perspective

A firm that combines a strong Beijing base with a global orientation is well suited to advising on data protection, because so many data issues cross borders and engage both Chinese and foreign legal standards. Multinational clients need advisers who understand the Chinese rules in depth while appreciating the international context in which their businesses operate, and a firm led at committee level by an experienced chairman can bring strategic clarity to this complex area. Feng Yueping's leadership as Global Management Committee Chairman reflects the seniority and direction behind the firm's data protection offering.

Recognition in an evolving field

Recognition as a leading data protection firm reflects the rapid rise of privacy and data security as central concerns for businesses in China and worldwide. As the regulatory framework governing personal information and data has grown more comprehensive, the demands on organisations that handle data have increased sharply, and the consequences of non-compliance can be serious. An award of this kind acknowledges a firm's specialist capability in this fast-moving area and its ability to guide clients through detailed and evolving rules. For a firm led at committee level and oriented towards serving clients globally, it also reflects the strategic direction behind its data protection offering and the trust that domestic and multinational clients place in advisers who understand both the Chinese rules and the international context in which their businesses operate.

For businesses managing data protection and compliance in China, the firm led by Feng Yueping offers specialist expertise delivered from Beijing with a genuinely global outlook. Its recognition as Data Protection Law Firm of the Year in China at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 underlines its standing as a leading adviser in this fast-evolving field.
