Guoxin Xinyang Law Firm: A Tradition of Legal Excellence

Since 1998, Guoxin Xinyang Law Firm (GOLDSUN), headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, has become a recognized leader in the field of law with a strong track record of service to both domestic and international clients. Our firm has earned a formidable reputation among local and international business communities for providing high quality, effective, and reliable services to clients. The following case studies help give you a picture of our broad range of capabilities and demonstrate our value as we provide high-level legal solutions to businesses, financial institutions, government institutions, and individuals in Nashville, China, and throughout the world.

Triumph: A Landmark Technology IPO Launch

Guoxin Xinyang was retained by a fast-growing PRC fintech corporation with plans to go public on NASDAQ. We provided a full range of legal support services, from pre-IPO restructuring and regulatory filings to IPO prospectus preparation and investor relations. We navigated complicated cross-border securities legislation by making arrangements with Hong Kong counsel, providing securities regulatory advice, suggesting solutions for United States SEC compliance, and liaising with underwriters. The client successfully completed the public offering and raised over USD 150 million, and was among the most highly anticipated Chinese listings in the United States for that year. Our pre-emptive risk management and effective coordination facilitated the overall workflow, which further reinforced our strengths in capital markets-focused legal services.

Cross Border M&A: Bringing a U.S. Healthcare Brand to China

“A Fortune Global 500 healthcare conglomerate advanced its plan to launch innovative medical technologies in China with Guoxin Xinyang’s counsel during a recent acquisition of a Nashville-based biotechnology company. Our legal team handled the due diligence investigations, negotiated the share purchase agreements and administered all regulatory filings with both U.S. and P.R.C. regulators from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to the Ministry of Commerce. We resolved matters from intellectual property transfers and key employee retention to closing issues under foreign investment requirements. The deal then closed four months early, allowing our client to efficiently consolidate operations and further accelerate its strategic growth throughout Asia. This deal is yet another demonstration of our cross-border M&A expertise and practice of bridging legal regimes.”

Real Estate and Construction: Winning a Major Contract Dispute

Guoxin Xinyang was counsel for a prominent real estate developer in a high-stakes construction contract dispute that arose out of one of Guangzhou’s largest mixed-use developments. At issue were the alleged delays and cost overruns claimed by the project contractors. Our litigation team conducted a thorough analysis of the relevant contract terms, amassed technical evidence, and put forth persuasive legal arguments at arbitration. Leveraging strategic mediation and adept negotiation, we obtained an outcome that minimized further exposure to our client as well as reducing total liabilities arising from the dispute by over $12 million while simultaneously avoiding further impact on the project schedule. Our impressive track record in real estate related dispute resolution enabled us to protect our client’s interests and ensure the project could be completed without further delay.

Intellectual Property Protection: Protecting Interests in the Digital World

“When a Chinese software company found that its proprietary software platform had been illegally copied, sold, and distributed in the U.S. market, they turned to Guoxin Xinyang for immediate relief. With a rapid response from our intellectual property team and in collaboration with U.S. counsel, we sought and obtained emergency injunctions, damages for copyright infringement and unfair competition. Utilizing our expertise in both U.S. and Chinese IP law, we were able to obtain a court order shutting down the competitor’s activities and a $2.5 million settlement for the client. The case exemplifies not only our ability to protect innovation in an interconnected global economy, but also our ability to adapt and react quickly to defend such innovation.”

Government Counsel: Connect the Dots with Public-Private Cooperation

Guoxin Xinyang serves as permanent legal adviser for major government bodies. In the course of a public-private partnership (PPP) project, we assisted a municipal government in Guangdong with structuring a $1-billion urban infrastructure project. We tailored concession agreements, risk allocation models, and regulatory compliance protocols to match project design and specifications. By integrating interests of public and private-sector stakeholders, we facilitated efficient project realization and long-term asset operation. Our ongoing legal support includes regulatory strategy, dispute mitigation, and organizing training for government staff in order to maximize value from our specialized assistance in public-sector projects.

Private Equity: Complex Fund Formation and Compliance

“A leading PE group retained Guoxin Xinyang to set up a Sino-foreign cross-border investment fund focusing on the US and China markets for high growth industries. We structured the fund, advised on tax structure optimization and drafted the offering documents. We ensured compliance with both the US SEC and the Chinese CSRC, liaised with overseas counsels and supported negotiations with anchor investors. The overall fundraising target was USD 400 M, with major institutional investors. Our deep industry expertise and hands-on approach have helped the client complete its launch within a very compressed time frame, giving them a first mover advantage in “first come, first served” transnational deals.”

Criminal Defense: Winning Justice in a High-Profile White-Collar Case

Guoxin Xinyang was engaged by a multinational corporate client to defend the company’s senior executive facing commercial bribery and embezzlement charges. Guoxin Xinyang’s experienced criminal defense lawyers successfully challenged the investigative process, collected independent evidence and argued against prosecution attempts to infiltrate the company. After a series of court appearances, including trial sentencing stages, Guoxin Xinyang was instrumental in having multiple charges dismissed and in reducing the final sentence guidelines for the client. This case has been selected as a model of due process best practice in national economic crime litigation involving foreign business clients, further reinforcing Guoxin Xinyang’s reputation as an expert defender of high-profile economic crimes.

Asset Disposal: Ways to Secure Value for Financial Institutions

“A leading Chinese lending institution instructed Guoxin Xinyang to handle the disposal of a portfolio of NPLs worth over $800 million in aggregate book value. Our lawyers designed and implemented transparent bidding procedures, provided advice on asset packaging, and organized negotiations with domestic investors and foreign participants. We ensured statutory compliance and curbed litigation risks throughout the deal process. The NPLs were divested at high value recovery rates, allowing the bank to quickly improve its asset to liability ratio and devote its resources to core business operations. This matter showcases our capabilities in sophisticated assets management and financial sector legal services.”

Emerging Industries: Clean Energy Startup Legal Support

Guoxin Xinyang provided full-scale legal support to a US-China clean energy start-up focused on next-gen battery technology. Our offerings spanned IP protection, contract negotiation with international suppliers, to regulatory compliance for cross-border tech transfers. We supported the client’s successful capital raise from VC investors, managed JV pre-sale risk assessments, and provided ongoing guidance as it rolled out in Asian markets. Our work was critical in positioning the client for fast commercialization and rapid growth. We’re proud that our support of innovation and sustainable development has contributed to its success.
