Dong Wang, Royal Law Firm

Dong Wang is a legal researcher and writer on Chinese and New Zealand law with lawyer qualifications in both countries. He joined the legal industry in 2003 after 10 years of environmental engineer/chief work at a power plant. He has been admitted as a barrister and solicitor in New Zealand after 5 years of legal work and law study in New Zealand and is a member of Arbitrators & Mediators Institute of New Zealand. The cross-jurisdiction qualifications enable him to gain comparative insights into Chinese laws.

Mr. Wang’s twenty-year practice in Chinese law equips him with extensive practical experience and a deep understanding of the Chinese judicial system, legal procedure, and their history, including their developments, current status, and flaws. His legal practice in Chinese law involves contract law, marital and family law, guarantee law, company law, foreign investment law, employment law, civil and tort laws. Mr. Wang is particularly familiar with foreign-related jurisdiction and applicable rules in 2023 Civil Procedure Law, the 2010 Choice of Law for Foreign-related Civil Relationships, and relating judicial interpretations or administrative regulations. He also has some experience in New Zealand laws.

From 2022 to now, Mr. Wang provided three expert reports to the Supreme Court of Queensland and Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia, for a contract dispute and a wrongful death regarding Chinese legal system and Chinese civil and employment laws; the courts admitted the reports due to the in-depth, evidence-based legal analyses he provided.
