Profile

Kaihong Xiao practices at Guangdong Century Chinese Law Firm, located at 21A Jazz Mansion, 4018 Jiabin Road, Luohui District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. He is an invited guest attorney on several prominent Chinese legal platforms including Zhaofawang, 110 Legal Consultation Network, and Tianping Legal Network, reflecting his recognized expertise and visibility within China's online legal community. His practice covers a broad spectrum of civil, commercial, and criminal litigation matters throughout Shenzhen and the broader Pearl River Delta region.

Mr. Xiao has extensive experience in criminal defense, representing clients in cases ranging from economic crimes including fraud, embezzlement, and securities law violations, to traditional violent offenses, drug charges, and white-collar criminal matters investigated by specialized economic crime investigation departments. He provides representation from the initial police investigation stage through prosecution, trial, and appeals, with a focus on protecting defendants' procedural rights and developing effective defense strategies.

A significant area of Mr. Xiao's practice involves evidence-related legal issues, particularly concerning electronic evidence in Chinese litigation. He has developed deep expertise in the admissibility and authentication of WeChat chat records () as evidence in Chinese courts, a rapidly evolving area of evidence law that affects virtually all commercial and many family law disputes in China today. He advises clients on proper evidence preservation techniques, authenticity verification methods, and strategic use of electronic communications in litigation.

Mr. Xiao handles the classification of investment versus loan transactions under Chinese law, a distinction with significant practical implications for foreign investors and businesses. A transaction characterized as a loan allows the lender to demand repayment regardless of business performance and potentially pursue criminal fraud charges if funds are misappropriated, while an investment arrangement means the investor shares in both profits and losses. He advises clients on proper transaction documentation to ensure their intended legal relationship is clearly established.

His contract dispute practice covers commercial agreement enforcement, breach of contract claims, partnership dissolution, and business tort litigation. He assists clients with contract drafting, review, and negotiation, with particular attention to dispute resolution clauses, governing law provisions, and choice of forum. His real estate practice includes property purchase agreement disputes, title claims, land use rights matters, and landlord-tenant litigation.

Mr. Xiao also handles matrimonial property division in divorce cases, inheritance and estate planning matters, and intellectual property enforcement including trademark infringement actions and copyright disputes. He has handled numerous cases involving Internet-related disputes, making him well-versed in China's evolving digital economy legal framework including e-commerce platform liability, domain name disputes, and online defamation claims.

Mr. Xiao provides comprehensive legal advisory services to businesses on corporate governance, regulatory compliance, contract management systems, and risk assessment. His familiarity with both traditional litigation and emerging technology-related legal questions makes him a versatile legal advisor capable of addressing the full range of legal challenges facing modern businesses.

For international clients and foreign companies operating in Shenzhen, Mr. Xiao offers services in both English and Chinese. He assists with cross-border commercial dispute resolution, investment structuring and documentation, contract negotiation with Chinese counterparties, intellectual property protection strategies for foreign brands entering the Chinese market, and criminal defense for foreign nationals. His online platform affiliations and established reputation in the Shenzhen legal community make him an accessible and reliable legal partner for international clients.
