Lei Yuan is a Chinese criminal litigation attorney practicing at Jiangsu Su Xin Law Firm in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province. With extensive experience in criminal defense and litigation, Mr. Yuan has built a strong reputation for providing strategic legal representation to clients facing criminal charges in courts throughout Jiangsu Province and beyond. His practice encompasses the full spectrum of criminal litigation, from pre-trial detention and bail applications to trial advocacy and post-conviction remedies. Mr. Yuan holds comprehensive knowledge of Chinese criminal procedure and substantive criminal law. He represents clients in cases ranging from economic crimes and white-collar offenses to traditional criminal matters. His approach combines meticulous case preparation with strategic negotiation skills, often achieving favorable outcomes through early intervention and thorough evidence analysis. Throughout his career, Mr. Yuan has developed particular expertise in cases involving complex evidentiary issues, multi-jurisdictional elements, and cross-border criminal matters. He understands the unique challenges faced by foreign nationals who become involved in the Chinese criminal justice system and provides clear, culturally sensitive guidance throughout the legal process.
For overseas clients, Lei Yuan frames Chinese procedure in practical terms: what documents are needed, which authority decides the issue, how long filings typically take, and where negotiation or formal dispute resolution is more efficient. Advice is oriented to commercial outcomes as well as formal legal rights, so clients can choose between settlement, administrative channels, mediation, arbitration, or litigation with a clear cost and timeline picture.
In Criminal Litigation work, the practice pattern usually covers intake and conflict checks, fact chronology, evidence preservation, risk mapping under the Civil Code and related special statutes, and drafting or review of bilingual instruments where foreign parties are involved. Where a dispute has already arisen, emphasis is placed on limitation periods, jurisdiction clauses, asset location, and enforceability of any future award or judgment in China.
Foreign companies and expatriates often need a single contact who can coordinate local counsel tasks, explain Chinese regulatory culture, and keep reporting clear in English. Lei Yuan supports that role through structured case plans, written status updates, and coordination with notaries, translators, appraisers, or investigation service providers when required by the file. Clients remain informed about strategic forks—such as whether to file first, preserve evidence first, or open settlement talks—before costs escalate.
Professional affiliation includes Jiangsu Bar Association. This network supports referral coordination and current practice standards within the local bar community.
The published Chinese lawyer license number on file is 13202201410711591. Clients who require formal engagement letters, power of attorney forms, or court representation can complete onboarding under the firm procedures applicable in taizhou.
Typical foreign-facing matters in this practice area include cross-border contracts, compliance reviews, employment or family issues connected with life or investment in China, and disputes where evidence, witnesses, or assets sit inside the PRC. The working method is to separate legal theory from executable next steps so non-Chinese clients can act quickly.
Consultation requests can be submitted through the China Law List directory contact workflow. Initial discussions usually cover goals, deadlines, available evidence, and whether the matter is advisory only or already contentious. Lei Yuan aims for clear scope, transparent fee structure where engagement proceeds, and practical recommendations that fit both Chinese procedure and the client's overseas constraints.
Throughout a matter, Lei Yuan documents assumptions, outstanding information, and decision points so that foreign headquarters or family members outside China can follow progress without Chinese-language barriers. Where multiple Chinese venues could hear a dispute, venue analysis includes convenience of evidence, local practice tendencies, and enforcement targets. Where settlement is realistic, draft term sheets are used to lock commercial points before formal instruments are finalized.
