King & Wood announces recruitment of senior PRC litigator, Renee Gu. Ms. Gu, with over 20 years of China dispute resolution experience “has the rare combination of International and ‘PRC Bench’ experience”, states leading HK partner, Rupert Li, as she was a Shanghai Higher People’s Court judge for seven years before entering into private practice at the Hong Kong offices of Jones Day, Herbert Smith and Coudert Brothers.
Gu’s private practice has primarily focused on representing international and Chinese companies in litigation and arbitration throughout China, Hong Kong, the United States and Europe. “Renee’s unique PRC dispute resolution perspective will substantively increase King & Wood’s strength in this dynamic and burgeoning area in China,” states Ariel Ye, head of the firm’s cross-border disputes group. Ms. Gu has worked on some of the largest and most complex disputes in and outside China and at King & Wood she will focus on cross border disputes.
Her education is notable as shortly after receiving her LL.B and LL.M from Beijing University; she became one of the youngest Chinese High Court judges ever admitted. Additionally she was sent by the Supreme People’s Court of China to conduct a comparative analysis of the PRC and United States Judicial systems at Columbia University. In 1996, she received her second LL.M from New York University.
