KKMP is pleased to announce the launch of its China Desk which will provide legal services to Russian and Chinese businesses in their cooperation. The firm has appointed Zeyu (Chuck) Peng, an experienced professional with a background in both Chinese and international law, to lead the desk.

Chuck Peng is a Chinese Bar licensed lawyer who brings nearly a decade of expertise gained from working in reputable Chinese and international law firms, as well as serving as in-house counsel for a major Chinese automotive company, including in Russia. As a native Chinese speaker fluent in English, he is well-equipped to bridge communication gaps between Russian and Chinese parties. Chuck will provide Chinese law advice to Russian clients and coordinate interaction with our partner law firms in China when local counsel support is required.

"We are excited to launch our China Desk and welcome Chuck Peng as its head," announces Alyona Kucher, Senior Partner at KKMP. "With the ever-growing economic cooperation between Russia and China, there is a clear demand for dedicated lawyers who understand the nuances of doing business in both countries. Chuck’s background and bilingual proficiency make him the ideal candidate to lead this initiative and provide valuable support to our clients".

"I could not be prouder and more enthusiastic to take part in the development of KKMP’s China Desk,” – adds Chuck Peng. “We will walk firmly with our Russian and Chinese clients, providing world-class legal services to meet their needs in both markets”.
