DeHeng Law Firm focuses solely on contentious work. Given its strong capacity and network in Shandong province, it wins work from large state-owned enterprises and government agencies. In recent years, the seven-member team has gradually shifted its focus to the management and operation of intangible assets. It assisted Qingjian Group, formerly known as Qingdao Construction Group Corporation, in developing its intangible assets, achieving a 2.9% increase in the total assets and enhancing financing capacity by 11.77%. In delivering more comprehensive IP services, the firm was sought by Shandong Tourism Bureau in working out an overall strategy for the protection of the brand Hospitality Shandong. At the time of writing, the team is defending a Chinese manufacturer whose products were detained by Qingdao Customs for labeling produce with an unauthorised trade mark during exportation. The claim was brought by a US trade mark owner, and is one of the first hearings relating to Customs disputes. The firm is part of a larger legal group with 300 members, with offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Jinan.
