Zhu Zhigang, another valuable addition to Wan Hui Da’s partnership, has joined the firm since 2005. He now runs the firm’s IPR Enforcement Practice Group as a Partner, Senior Counsel and registered attorney at law.  Mr. Zhu, who holds a LL.B degree in International and European Union Law from France Poitiers University and M.Sc from Paris Graduate School of Management, has deep roots in the European culture and law practice.
