Weiheng Jia

In his over 20 years of practice in China and the United States, Mr. Jia has focused on cross-border M&A, regulatory compliance, as well as labor and employment. With about seven years of legal education in Japan and over four years of practice in the U.S., he is one of the few lawyers in China who can truly practice law in Chinese, Japanese, and English. 

Mr. Jia has represented corporate clients on numerous deals involving M&A, formation and dissolution of joint ventures, and disposal of assets or business lines.  He also has substantial experience in advising on regulatory and compliance matters covering a variety of issues, including anti-bribery and business ethics, anti-monopoly/unfair competition, as well as data security and protection.  His unique labor law practice is more focused on mass-layoff, strike, and labor union related matters.

Prior to joining Han Kun, Mr. Jia was the National Leader of Deloitte Legal Greater China and the National Managing Partner of Qin Li Law Firm, a member of the Deloitte Legal global network.  While practicing as a partner at top tier U.S.-based international law firm Squire Potton Boggs, he also served as the General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer for Shanghai Environment Group, a PRC state-owned China stock exchange-listed enterprise group, as well as the China senior legal counsel and compliance officer for General Electric's C&I Group.
