Invited to Author the China Chapter of the Chambers Defamation & Reputation Management Guide 2026
Recently, Chambers and Partners, the leading international legal ranking organisation, has published its Defamation & Reputation Management 2026 practice guide. Four lawyers from Dacheng Shanghai—Yang Yuzhou, Zhang Xiaosheng, Dai Jianmin, and Jiang Miao—were invited to co-author the core content of the China chapter, owing to their solid expertise, extensive practical experience, and industry influence in the field of reputation management. The chapter focuses on key areas including privacy protection, defamation torts, and data compliance in China, providing precise references on Chinese legal practice for global clients.
As a globally recognised authority in rating high-end legal services, Chambers is highly selective in inviting authors for its guides, choosing only lawyers who have deep expertise in the relevant field, rich practical experience, and high industry recognition within each jurisdiction. The invitation extended to these four lawyers to author the China chapter represents not only a strong endorsement of their individual professional capabilities, but also full recognition of the comprehensive strength and industry influence of Dacheng Shanghai’s Online Reputation Response and Governance Team in the field of reputation management.
Having cultivated the fields of reputation management, privacy torts, commercial defamation, and data compliance for many years, the four lawyers have leveraged the professional expertise of Dacheng Shanghai’s Online Reputation Response and Governance Team. Grounded in Chinese judicial practice and closely following industry regulatory trends, they have led their team in successfully handling numerous landmark cases involving infringement of the right of reputation, online defamation, and online reputation crisis response, helping many enterprises and individuals mitigate reputation risks and recover their economic losses and standing, and accumulating extensive practical experience in the process.
During the preparation of this guide, the four lawyers drew on their team’s real-world case experience and closely followed core laws and regulations including the Civil Code and the Personal Information Protection Law. They systematically reviewed China’s legal framework, key elements of tort determination, and rights protection pathways in the areas of privacy protection, defamation, and data protection. They also distilled actionable reputation crisis response strategies based on the latest regulatory trends. The content is both professionally rigorous and practically oriented, offering global readers an in-depth understanding of China’s core practices while fully demonstrating the professional depth and industry insight of Dacheng Shanghai’s Online Reputation Response and Governance Team.
This invitation to author the Chambers guide serves as yet another testament to the four lawyers’ professional capabilities and further underscores the formidable strength of Dacheng Shanghai’s Online Reputation Response and Governance Team within the industry. Looking ahead, the team will continue to deepen its expertise in reputation management, focus on clients’ core needs, and provide comprehensive, refined reputation management legal services to clients of all types, helping them accurately prevent potential risks and efficiently resolve various reputation-related disputes.
