Since the restoration of legal service by lawyers in the 1980s, the professional community of lawyers and law firms have undergone a rapid expansion and played an increasingly important role in rule of law, producing profound influences in Chinese economy, politics and social life.
Mr. Peng Xuefeng is the Chairman and Founder of Dacheng Law Offices. Mr. Peng has practiced as a registered lawyer for over 20 years, and has been mainly focusing on the practices of Dispute Resolution, Corporation, Securities & Finance, M&A and Antitrust.
For the outstanding performance in the legal service, Mr. Peng received Beijing Esteemed Lawyer in 1994 and again in 1999; in the year 1996, he was ranked in the Top Ten Lawyers in Beijing and nominated for Beijing Top Ten Youth Worthies, and was awarded the 1996 Exemplary Attorney by the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Peng was also cited as one of the 2006 Hottest Asia Lawyer by Asian Legal Business, a famous international publisher well-known for its opinions on the Asian legal pratices.
