Hank Wang is a 30-year international law veteran of Chinese origin trained in both the United States and China. Throughout his career, Professor Wang has focused on promoting business relationships and better understanding between China and the United States.

After a 20-year military career as a law enforcement officer with the Chinese army, strategic analyst with the Chinese air force, and professor and vice chairman in the Department of International Studies and Languages at the Chinese naval academy of surface warfare, Professor Wang served as legal counsel at the then only international law firm in Dalian, China. In these capacities, Professor Wang dealt in various international negotiations and business transactions with many foreign government and business leaders. 

He has played an instrumental role in the U.S.-China Clean Energy Forum / Initiatives — a dialogue between the U.S. and Chinese public and private sectors on clean, efficient and sustainable energy — serving in the capacity of executive vice president and chief representative in China.

While at a prior firm, Professor Wang was instrumental in setting up its representative office in China and served as its chief representative in China and general manager of the firm's affiliated international consulting firm. He later served as Asia Practice Group leader for a leading international law firm. In 1997, Professor Wang opened a law firm in his own name in Tianjin, China, solely owned by him, which was an exceptional privilege there and then.

Professor Wang has spoken at numerous international, national and local seminars in China on such subjects as alternative dispute resolution, international financing and securities law, contractual law, employment law, technology transfer, real estate law, WTO and international trade law, and environmental law. At many of these seminars, leading Chinese governmental officials and foreign embassy officials were present. Professor Wang has also spoken at seminars in the United States on topics of international investment and financing, international environmental protection law, and alternative dispute resolution.

Professor Wang has participated as a professional legal expert in the legislative process of drafting or amending new and existing Chinese laws and regulations, such as PRC Law of Foreign Trade, PRC Company Law, PRC Law of Public Notary, PRC Contract Law, PRC Bankruptcy Law, PRC Attorney Law, PRC Rules on Trade Remedy Measures, and PRC Supreme People’s Court Rule Governing procedures for Judicial Review of Administrative Rulings In WTO-Related Cases.
