Lu Wang Bio
Lu Wang, the founder of Wang & Associates, P.C. (“W & A”), is an Atlanta attorney originally from Shanghai, China. He has almost 20 years of experience in legal practice in the United States. Mr. Wang has advanced law degrees earned from well-known law schools in China and the U.S. and has been admitted to practice in both countries. His practice focuses on immigration, corporate, international business and trade and family laws.
Mr. Wang made his debut as a legal practitioner as far back as the late 1980’s when he worked in immigration and international section for McKenna Long & Aldridge (MLA), one of the leading law firms in Atlanta, Georgia. There he was credited with a key role in launching the firm’s Asian practice.
Under Mr. Wang’s stewardship, W & A, founded in 1993, has over the decade evolved into a multinational law firm with ever-growing client bases throughout the world. The firm has earned a sterling reputation for its superb expertise, legal sophistication and top quality services in a diversity of areas. Especially impressive is its ability to successfully handle huge volumes of international corporate and immigration cases and to execute complicated international legal transactions. Currently, Mr. Wang’s law firm is retained by hundreds of domestic and international companies of different natures and varying sizes, including Fortune 500 companies to handle their immigration and corporate cases.
The establishment of the law firm’s China office in 2001 ushered in a new stage of development. It offers new prospects for tapping the enormous potential of the world’s fastest-growing economy and for capturing a decent share of the huge, emerging legal service market. Mr. Wang’s unwavering commitment to excellence in legal practice has impressed major corporations operating globally and attracted a steady flow of new referrals. Notable among his corporate clients in China are McDonald’s China and Shanghai Electric Company (“SEC”). SEC, China’s largest electric company and one of its top 20 companies, has retained Mr. Wang as Chief Counsel. His quality legal services have also helped him forge close, friendly ties with various levels of government in China and won him an appointment as a Legal Advisor to the National Assets Commission of the Government of Shanghai, China’s largest city and commercial center.
