Yingke Australia — Melbourne Office
Yingke Australia · Melbourne Office

Global mindset.
Local instinct.

An Australian-registered law firm in Melbourne, established in November 2023 and managed directly by Beijing Yingke Law Firm. We advise Mandarin- and English-speaking clients on Australian business, investment, disputes and private wealth.

Our Approach

Understand what the client needs. Respect the facts. Solve the problem. Our team brings hands-on litigation and transactional experience — forward-looking advice that helps clients manage time, cost and risk.

01

Listen carefully

Every matter starts with understanding the commercial reality, not just the legal question.

02

Advise plainly

Plain-language advice in the client's preferred language — English, Mandarin, or both side-by-side.

03

Act decisively

When risk surfaces, we move fast — including emergency injunction and urgent regulatory work.

04

Stay close

Long-term relationships, not transactions. Most clients work with us for years across multiple matters.

Expertise

Four practice areas, one integrated team.

We organise our work around the moments where Australian and Chinese commercial life intersect — investment, operations, succession, and disputes. We act for fund managers, Chinese enterprises investing in Australia, commercial property developers, restaurant and franchise groups, financial services, education and service-industry businesses.
