Wu Lanlan
Representative Attorney
Attorney at Law Admitted in China
Ms. Wu graduated from the Faculty of International Economics and Law of China University of Political Science and Law in 1998. Immediately after graduation, she worked for a Chinese investment consulting firm for two years, where she handled civil and commercial cases, gave investment advice to clients, and offered a series of services such as proposal preparation, negotiation, litigation, and arbitration in connection with various agreements. As she gained experience in various fields, Ms. Wu got interested in international law practice and decided to study abroad to add a new dimension to her perspective. She chose Japan as the place for her post-graduate study because she always maintained her interest in the country, which was aroused when she won a prize in a calligraphy exhibition in Japan during her junior high school days. Ms. Wu graduated from Waseda University Graduate School of Law with a Master of Laws in 2005. Since joining the firm, Ms. Wu has been actively engaged in capital investment projects of Japanese companies in China by using her excellent language skills.
