Representative Results
Partnership Dispute
At my previous firm, I handled post-judgment proceedings in a partnership dispute involving a swami market valued at over $30 million in downtown Los Angeles. The opposing parties, after losing the judgment, refused to fulfill their legal obligation to sell their partnership interests to my clients based on the jointly appraised price—set a decade earlier at just over $7 million. They argued that the judgment did not specify a sale price or deadline, attempting to leverage the significantly higher current value instead.
In response, I filed a Motion for Elisor, seeking court intervention to enforce the transfer at the original price. When the trial court denied the Motion, I successfully appealed and secured a reversal.
Additionally, I won prejudgment interest for my clients after the issue was remanded, defeated the opposing party’s Motion for New Trial, and successfully opposed their subsequent appeal.
This case was handled under the supervision and guidance of a senior attorney at my former firm.
Business Dispute
I defended a Chinese businessman in post-judgment proceedings, i.e., moving to vacate judgment, where the U.S. judgment was based on a Chinese arbitration award.
I represented a Chinese client living in Canada in a fraudulent transfer action against her ex husband to freeze and seize his assets in California.
I defended a Chinese client in an extortion case.
Foreign Judgment Recognition
Together with my bankruptcy co-counsel, I successfully defended a Chinese businessman against a $92 million debt claim as well as a $26 million debt claim based on Chinese judgments.
I represented a Chinese corporation to enforce its multiple Chinese judgments, totaling about $20 million, against a debtor who fled to the U.S.
