Recently, Lawyer Zhang Mingzhi, Senior Partner of Gaopeng Law Firm, was entrusted by a private equity fund to demonstrate outstanding professional skills in an arbitration case involving the repurchase of equity of a target company, successfully safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the client.

In this arbitration case, the target company has put forward a series of defense opinions such as "reduce capital first, repurchase later" in response to the equity repurchase request made by the principal. Lawyer Zhang Mingzhi, with his profound professional knowledge and rich practical experience, effectively argued the reasonableness of the client's claims in the arbitration tribunal. The arbitral tribunal ultimately did not adopt the defense opinion of the target company and supported the principal's request for equity repurchase.

This case fully demonstrates the respect of commercial arbitration for commercial arrangements reached through equal consultation and rational decision-making. The arbitral tribunal demonstrated the professionalism and independence of commercial arbitration in handling such complex commercial disputes by organically discussing the relationship between repurchase, capital reduction, and protection of the interests of company creditors.

The outstanding performance of Lawyer Zhang Mingzhi from Gaopeng Law Firm in this case has won the due rights for the client and once again demonstrated the professional level of Gaopeng Law Firm in the field of commercial dispute resolution.
