His award-winning work and insights have been featured on The Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, and other top-tier media.
Mr. Wu is widely respected as “a very experienced legal practitioner and has led many of the most significant engagements in the past decade” (The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2024). He is sought after by clients as “without doubt, a great master of the legal knowledge and skills required” (Chambers Global 2023). Clients attest that Mr. Wu “really is top notch” and an “excellent legal strategist” whose “approach is always practical and his advice [is] laser-focused on solving the clients’ problems” (Chambers Asia-Pacific 2021). He is recognized as “one of the true multilingual litigators who is authoritative,” “very smart and communicative,” and he has “won the total trust” of clients (The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2020). Regarded by clients as a “real strategist and problem solver,” Mr. Wu is an “excellent attorney with great attention to detail” (Chambers Asia-Pacific 2019).
In Asia, Mr. Wu is the “‘go to’ attorney in matters involving China” and his “understanding of Chinese culture and language is only surpassed by his legal mind and logic” (The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2021). He is “uniquely positioned in the market” and lauded as “the lawyer many people think of when they think of investigations and disputes in China” (The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2019). Clients rely on Mr. Wu’s “clear and comprehensive responses” and “impressive language capabilities, citing his proficiency in English, Mandarin and Cantonese” (Chambers Asia-Pacific 2018). He is “praised for his handling of China-related matters and ‘does an excellent job conveying the case across cultural and linguistic barriers’” (The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2017).
Mr. Wu acts as lead counsel, advocate, and strategist in a wide range of international arbitration and international dispute resolution matters, often involving governments, state-owned enterprises, and multinational corporations in Asia.

Many of these disputes arise out of investment agreements, sale and purchase contracts, financing arrangements, joint ventures, and mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Wu has been admitted to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and Hong Kong Institute of Arbitrators (HKIArb). As lead counsel, he often coordinates cross-border proceedings across Asia, U.S., U.K., and offshore jurisdictions including the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands.
