About Yan Xu

Yan Xu is a senior family law partner at Zhong Lun Law Firm, one of China’s premier full-service law firms, based in Beijing. With extensive experience handling complex matrimonial and family law matters, Yan specializes in cross-border divorce proceedings, international child custody disputes, and high-net-worth marital property division involving assets across multiple jurisdictions. She is a member of the Beijing Bar Association and the China Family Law Association.

Yan’s practice is distinguished by her ability to handle cases where Chinese family law intersects with foreign legal systems — a skillset increasingly in demand as international marriages and families with cross-border assets become more common. She has represented clients in divorce proceedings involving assets in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, Australia, and multiple European jurisdictions, coordinating with local counsel to achieve comprehensive settlements that respect both PRC legal requirements and foreign property regimes.

In addition to litigation, Yan is a strong proponent of negotiated settlements and mediation in family disputes. She has successfully resolved numerous high-conflict divorces through structured negotiation, preserving family wealth and minimizing emotional harm. She also advises on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for clients with significant pre-marital assets, business interests, and international property holdings. She graduated from China University of Political Science and Law and is a certified family mediator.
