Fei Chen
General Counsel
Shenzhen Yinghe Technology Co., Ltd.
Fei Chen led legal support for over RMB 8.5 billion in domestic and cross-border transactions, ensuring compliance and timely closings. She resolved 120 litigation/arbitration matters—including international arbitration and insolvency proceedings—recovering more than RMB 300 million and safeguarding corporate reputation. She also developed a global compliance programme emphasizing GDPR, antitrust and data privacy to embed consistent standards across operations.
Her quantifiable contributions include contract-lifecycle digitalisation that reduced legal review and approval time by 35%, accelerating deal velocity and operational efficiency, and a “Legal Risk Early Warning Index” deployed on nine critical business initiatives to mitigate exposure to multimillion-yuan risks. In “Leadership in Action,” Chen led legal strategy for a multi-party, cross-border equipment-supply deal with overseas entities. The matter's complexity—regulatory scrutiny, data transfers and IP risk—was addressed through proactive FTO analysis, targeted contract design and cross-jurisdictional alignment, closing on schedule.
Chen champions legal-team capability building. She introduced AI-based research tools that increased efficiency and launched a “Legal Elite Program” featuring cross-border rotations and ESG training, alongside regular participation in international forums to track technology and policy trends. Her forward-looking vision positions legal as both guardian and growth enabler—integrated with business, digitally fluent and anchored in ESG stewardship—so the function can drive compliance and enable expansion in tandem.
