A Melbourne law firm operating within the Yingke global network — over 18,000 lawyers across 100 countries. We advise Mandarin- and English-speaking clients on Australian business, investment, and private wealth matters.
We combine the resources of one of the world's largest legal networks with the judgement of senior Australian counsel — working bilingually so nothing is lost in translation.
Every matter starts with understanding the commercial reality, not just the legal question.
Plain-language advice in the client's preferred language — English, Mandarin, or both side-by-side.
When risk surfaces, we move fast — including emergency injunction and urgent regulatory work.
Long-term relationships, not transactions. Most clients work with us for years across multiple matters.
We organise our work around the moments where Australian and Chinese commercial life intersect — investment, operations, succession, and disputes. Each area is led by senior counsel admitted in Australian jurisdictions.
Every partner at YK Law Melbourne is admitted to practice in Australia and works fluently in Mandarin and English. The result: cross-border matters that don't fall through the gaps between counsel.
