CV

Lu WANG

Since she started her practice in 2003, Ms. Wang has cultivated extensive experience and achieved an extensive track record in commercial crimes, criminal risk management, environmental protection, and production safety.

Ms. Wang excels at navigating high-profile, complex criminal-civil hybrid cases. In the realm of commercial crimes and criminal risk management, she has achieved remarkable success, securing acquittals and state compensation for detained clients, and negotiating dismissal of cases by public security authorities, non-prosecution by the procuratorate, and exemption from criminal penalties in courts. Her proficiency in environmental protection and production safety has also been demonstrated through the development of sound defense strategies rooted in her comprehensive understanding of environmental law, which has led to non-prosecution results in several cases. Beyond her frontline legal work, Ms. Wang is highly regarded for sharing her expertise with government agencies, enterprises, institutions, and fellow lawyers. Her contributions to the field have further solidified her professional reputation in the industry.
