Peter Wang handles complex disputes and antitrust/competition matters in China, the U.S., and worldwide. He co-heads the Firm's International Litigation & Arbitration Practice and China antitrust practice and is also Partner-in-Charge of the Shanghai Office.

Peter represents clients inside and outside of China in complex commercial disputes and patent, trade secret, and other technology and intellectual property matters. He helped lead Nokia's defense in China against several patent infringement lawsuits brought by Qualcomm. He also represents Chinese, U.S., and other clients in U.S. litigation, including: First American v. Zayed (RICO and related criminal, civil, and regulatory investigations and litigation); Hong Yi Construction v. Thomson Consumer Electronics (contract and RICO action); Sinochem International v. MISC (U.S. Supreme Court litigation re forum non conveniens); and AlliedSignal v. BFGoodrich (antitrust challenge to proposed acquisition).

Peter has extensive knowledge in China- and U.S.-related antitrust matters. He has handled significant U.S. and Chinese government antitrust investigations of proposed mergers and acquisitions, including Alcatel's merger with Lucent, America Online's merger with Time Warner, and Procter & Gamble's acquisition of Clairol. He also has been involved in many antitrust litigations and nonmerger investigations.

Throughout his career, Peter has been active in the Firm's extensive pro bono practice, including substantial work for the Whitman-Walker Clinic, Appleseed, the DC Bar Free Legal Advice & Referral Clinic (for which he received a DC Bar pro bono award), and litigation matters such as Native Village of Curyung v. State of Alaska (for which the Firm received a certificate of merit from Alaska Legal Services).
