As a female lawyer, she obtained a Master's degree in Civil and Commercial Law from East China University of Political Science and Law and a dual Master's degree in LLM from the University of Wisconsin Madison.

She has been nominated for the A-List legal elite award in China Business Law Journal and is currently being selected.
Lawyer Luan introduced high-quality clients from a top-tier wealth management subsidiary to the law firm. She proactively established a compliance system for the Volcker Rule, developing a one-year project plan based on the financial industry's characteristics, the head office's compliance requirements, and the clients' actual legal needs. Detailed planning and preparation were carried out for the due diligence stage, SOP development stage, implementation stage, and feedback improvement stage. Ultimately, the company developed a satisfactory Volcker Rule SOP and conducted compliance training, receiving unanimous praise from clients.
Another landmark case of creating cross-border non-performing asset disposal for law firms involved Lawyer Luan's appointment as the first authorized lawyer for a financial institution related to a rental loan dispute in China. She provided cross-border and full-process legal services for a well-known national joint-stock commercial bank's financial loan contract dispute, involving an amount of RMB 250 million. Afterwards, a continuous stream of clients contacted her firm, hoping to undertake cross-border non-performing asset recovery cases.
Lawyer Luan was successfully elected as a practical supervisor at East China University of Political Science and Law in June 2024, teaching and guiding students on legal provisions and typical case studies related to real estate rights, demonstrating a high level of professional competence and dedication. She is also a caring lawyer who has served as a volunteer for the Shanghai Rainbow Rain Children's Intelligent Training Center multiple times, accompanying children with autism and their families in public welfare activities during weekends.

Whether it is complex legal cases or subtle evidence content, Lawyer Luan always provides me with constructive advice. Lawyer Luan is an excellent lawyer that I highly recommend and recognize."
