Overview

Overview & experience

Jase Ye (Ye Junxi / 叶俊希) is a senior partner at Long An Law Firm, Guangzhou. His practice covers criminal defence, criminal complaints, criminal risk management and disputes involving both civil and criminal issues. His academic background combines law and engineering; he also serves as an arbitrator.

For a foreign national facing a criminal matter in China, unfamiliar procedures and distance from family can make an already difficult situation harder. Jase offers a point of contact in Guangzhou to discuss the facts, assess the available legal work and organise the next steps. The language and interpretation arrangements for each engagement are agreed in advance.

His criminal practice includes matters involving fraud, business and financial crime, personal information, online platforms and disputed assets. His representative matters include withdrawals of cases, non-prosecution decisions and suspended sentences. Each outcome depends on its own facts and evidence.

Jase serves as legal adviser to a major Guangdong–Africa economic and trade enterprise, handling a range of Africa-related legal matters. He has also handled a dispute concerning the establishment of an organisation involving the Guangzhou consulate general of an African country.

His experience also includes end-to-end legal services for the establishment of a China–Africa trade platform.

This work brings experience of Africa-related commercial and institutional matters.
