JurArs team has extensive experience in criminal law, with several lawyers bringing prior working backgrounds from judicial authorities. This allows the team to navigate investigative practices and enforcement logic with precision. The team not only excels in building systematic compliance frameworks for enterprises, but has also successfully handled numerous complex cases involving intersections between criminal and civil law, as well as criminal and administrative law.

 

With respect to common corporate risks, the team provides criminal-risk prevention and complaint-filing services, assisting clients in addressing misconduct by executives, shareholders, employees, business partners, and customers that may harm corporate interests.

 

For enterprises, entrepreneurs, and senior executives facing criminal exposure, the team offers specialized defense and litigation representation and has extensive experience in handling the following high-risk categories of offenses:

 

◆Financial Crimes: insider trading, market manipulation, fraudulent securities issuance, illegal information disclosure, and similar offenses.

◆Misconduct in Office: embezzlement, corruption, bribery, misappropriation of funds, and similar offenses.

◆Fraud-Related Crimes: contract fraud, illegal taking deposits from the public, fundraising fraud, and similar offenses.

◆Tax-Related Crimes: false issuance of VAT invoices, tax evasion, and similar offenses.

NOTABLE MATTERS

◆Representing an investment institution in securing criminal case filing for a hundred-million embezzlement by portfolio company management

This matter concerned an energy investment project of a well-known investment institution. The suspect, appointed jointly by several funds, was responsible for the management of the portfolio company. Together with six employees, the suspect abused his position by fabricating debts, forging company seals, and contributing capital with fictitious claims, thereby illegally misappropriating more than CNY 140 million from the company.

JurArs promptly assembled 49 key pieces of evidence and, in light of initial refusals to register the case on the grounds that it was an economic dispute, pursued administrative reconsideration and review procedures while simultaneously safeguarding the client’s corporate control. The team ultimately succeeded in obtaining formal case filing, laying a solid foundation for the client’s rights-protection efforts.

◆Representing an investment institution in compliance review of financing products totaling CNY 4 billion

This matter involved multiple PE investment funds and privately offered directional financing instruments managed by a prominent investment institution, with an aggregate scale of CNY 4 billion.

Given the project’s potential risk of product default and investor losses, JurArs was engaged to conduct a comprehensive legality and compliance review. Through coordinated communication with investors, regulators, and public security authorities, the team formulated a holistic resolution plan and successfully mitigated the risk of the matter being classified as ‘illegal public fundraising.’ As a result, the client avoided criminal liability.
