Peter Wang handles complex disputes and antitrust/competition matters in China, the U.S., and worldwide. He co-heads the Firm's International Litigation & Arbitration practice and China antitrust practice and is Partner-in-Charge in Beijing.

Peter represents clients inside and outside of China in complex commercial disputes and patent, trade secret, and other technology and intellectual property matters. He helped lead Nokia's defense in China against several patent infringement lawsuits brought by Qualcomm. He also represents Chinese, U.S., and other clients in U.S. litigation, including: First American v. Zayed (RICO and related criminal, civil, and regulatory investigations and litigation); Hong Yi Construction v. Thomson Consumer Electronics (contract and RICO action); Sinochem International v.
