On July 12, the Olympic Games Preparation Office of the Chinese Olympic Committee (COC) announced the shortlist of its legal counsels from 2019 to 2022. DeHeng was chosen for its excellent expertise and service capability.


The COC Olympic Games Preparation Office is set up to, under the guidance and supervision of the Competitive Sports Department of the General Administration of Sport of China, establish the judicial support system for the Games preparation and a rights protection system that national teams desperately need to protect them from sports lawsuits and lawsuits involving the use of illegal drugs, and ensure their immunity rights. It will integrate judicial resources of different sectors, serve the Games preparation working system, safeguard China's reputation in the sports community, and protect the rights and interests of national teams. Specifically, it will organize the signing of contracts and agreements, review and issue documents, and establish the knowledge library, database and sports-related legal advisory channel open to all contributors to China's Games preparation at home and abroad.  


The services will cover the 2020 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing. DeHeng has assembled a cross-disciplinary team of 16 members, including lawyer Wang Jianwen, partner of the Beijing Office and head of the Committee for Culture, Tourism, Sports, Senior Care and Healthcare Industries, and several other partners and lawyers, to provide comprehensive and cross-disciplinary legal services for the COC Olympic Games Preparation Office, and contribute to Olympic development in China. The award of the project bid marked another milestone in DeHeng's endeavor to support national sports events and the fitness for all campaign. In the future, DeHeng will, as always, provide professional, high-quality and comprehensive legal services to clients.
