Lawyer Cao Weizhao brings 20 years of legal practice experience and is a senior expert in domestic civil and commercial dispute resolution, corporate equity disputes, and wealth succession for high-net-worth individuals. A graduate of Sun Yat-sen University's School of Law with an EMBA from Jinan University, he combines deep legal expertise with a sharp cross-border business perspective. In complex litigation, he leads three core practice areas: international civil and commercial dispute resolution, cross-border intellectual property enforcement, and cross-border family asset protection and execution. He has represented globally recognized clients such as Formula One Management (F1 Trademark Owner) in international trademark enforcement cases and achieved significant victories in real estate development and construction disputes involving hundreds of millions of RMB. In cross-border wealth succession and asset protection, he specializes in designing top-tier structures for multinational high-net-worth families, with extensive expertise in wills, insurance, overseas asset allocation, and family trusts.

Partner Cao has deep practical expertise in multinational corporate governance, cross-border equity M&A, and corporate control disputes. He led equity acquisition projects for subsidiaries of central state-owned enterprises and successfully handled Guangdong's first landmark case leveraging statutory shareholder inspection rights under the Company Law, setting a benchmark for protecting minority shareholders in both foreign-invested and domestic companies. For high-net-worth individuals and immigrant families with cross-border ties, he specializes in resolving complex family disputes involving rights of foreign-born or non-marital children and multi-jurisdictional estate divisions (exceeding RMB 100 million). In cases where opposing parties maliciously conceal or transfer assets across borders, he employs precise strategies—including cross-border evidence preservation, asset freezing, and multi-jurisdictional litigation—to secure and recover clients' assets effectively.

With 20 years of professional experience and a seat on the Trust and Wealth Succession Committee of the Guangzhou Lawyers Association, Attorney Cao brings deep expertise in cross-border collaboration and execution. He has served as legal counsel for international firms such as Jinghong Immigration Group (Hong Kong) and Aoye Immigration (Australia), as well as for major financial institutions including China Guangfa Bank and Metropolitan Life Insurance. Known for his rigorous, insightful, and efficient approach, he builds comprehensive defenses for clients' cross-border assets and dispute resolution while delivering unmatched practical value in foreign-related commercial litigation and cross-border enforcement.
