Luping Yu
Partner
Zhonglun Law firm, Mainland China

Luping Yu is an adaptable Lawyer who thrives in different subject-matter environments: the physical, the digital, and the conceptual. He believes that while his work should maximally promote the interests of the clients, it should also be a driving force for the development of the rule of law, and the well-being of society.

To this end, his work in environmental justice and protection has included many public interest litigation cases with significant social impact.

He and his team facilitated a mediation agreement between the respected NGO Friends of Nature and the Guangdong Nanling Forest Scenic Area Management Company. This was the first environmental public interest litigation after the implementation of the new Environmental Protection Law. He’s widely published on legal-environmental issues.

The digital world also benefits from his expertise. He provides full-process legal services for China Search Information Co. Ltd, and he is a legal advisor to the cryptocurrency Ethereum in China. He also provides services to independent cryptocurrency news platforms such as 8btc and Amazon.com.

His work on the corporate control disputes of Bitmain - the world’s leading digital currency miner - helped win the 2021 Zhonglun Best Dispute Resolution Project Award.

Luping and his team wrote Blockchain & The Law - a Zhong Lun Report 2.0 to help the firm win more business in the Fintech area. Utilising his expertise, this Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2022 Recommended Lawyer (Fintech) not only provides these clients with advice but also offers lectures and training, blockchain policy information, and reviews Zhong Lun’s articles on Fintech for publication.
