Zhong Lun boasts a highly professional team practicing in the area of health, safety, and environmental protection. Our work has received glowing recommendations from well-respected international legal media and rating agencies for many years in a row. Many of our partners are noted for their considerable expertise in Chinese laws, global perspective, diverse professional backgrounds, and outstanding educational qualifications. In addition to comprehensive and one-stop legal services we offer to businesses in the Chinese mainland regarding both contentious and noncontentious issues in this area, we also help our clients comply with health, safety, and environmental laws of overseas investment destinations, handle international civil and commercial cases involving health, safety, and environmental issues and deal with environmental pollution and health and safety incidents in the global setting.

Our strength in this sector has gained us solid traction among our clients. We have served or are serving as legal counsel for quite a few ministries, commissions, and other governmental departments of China, including the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Jiangsu Province, and Wuhan Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau, which has greatly enriched our understanding of Chinese environmental regulatory policies. At the same time, we have also provided retainer-based legal services to central state-owned enterprises, multinationals, and large private businesses for compliance issues concerning health, safety, and environmental protection.

We have represented our clients in ecological and environmental private and public interest litigation cases, some of which were listed among the "Top 10 National Civil and Administrative Cases of the Year" by the Supreme People's Court or as typical representative ecological and environmental damage compensation cases in Hubei Province or were included in the judicial and administrative (legal services) case library of the Ministry of Justice. We thoroughly participated in the entire process of government investigation into the March 21, 2019 chemical plant explosion in Xiangshui, including ensued negotiation on and litigation for claims seeking compensation for ecological and environmental damage and related ecological restoration, and our work in this high-profile mandate is illustrative of our significant presence in dealing with environmental emergencies and safety accidents.

Boasting a market-leading position and an impressive track record in the arena of health, safety, and environmental protection, we will continue dedicating ourselves to providing our clients with efficient and quality services in this area.
