Hai Tong & Partners is a law firm in the form of partnership. It can be traced back to Jiao Tong Law Office under the Ministry of Communications founded in the early 1990's. Hai Tong & Partners has committed itself to serve both Chinese and foreign clients with high quality and efficient legal service.

Hai Tong & Partners has developed into a well-known law firm which offers professional legal service primarily in the field of admiralty and maritime law, as well as other services of litigation and intermediation in the field of insurance, international trade, investment, finance, company law, etc.

Hai Tong & Partners has a team of lawyers whose vocation is to maintain the best interest of the clients with their entrepreneur spirit and excellent professional qualification. Most of our lawyers worked for state organs or state-grade enterprises before they became members of Hai Tong & Partners. Their experience facilitates their communication with governmental offices, judicial organizations and legislators, which provides efficient and professional legal service as a result. Moreover, the majority of Hai Tong lawyers studied, worked, and lived in foreign countries, so they know the law, culture, and custom of those countries very well. We therefore know what foreign clients need when we offer legal service.
