    Feng Guo

    Deputy Director of the Research Office at Supreme People’s Court

    Judge Guo Feng is the Deputy Director of the Research Department of the Supreme People’s Court of China. Serving in this position since 2014, he has been in charge of, among other responsibilities, the development of the Guiding Cases System. Prior to this, Judge Guo was the dean of the law school of the Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing for eight years. As a result of his leadership, the school has become a first-tier law school in China, with particular strengths in such fields as banking law, capital markets, and financial regulation. As one of a few pioneers to receive a PhD in law in the early 1990s, Judge Guo was appointed as a professor at the reputable law school of Renmin University of China.

    Aside from his impressive accomplishments within academia, Judge Guo is also known for his distinguished legal practice. His most significant case was his representation of hundreds of investors who successfully claimed damages from the Shanghai Stock Exchange-listed Daqing Lianyi Oil and Chemical Industrial Company for fraud and misleading disclosures with respect to share issuances and transactions. The initial class action complaint was rejected and the suit was ordered to be split up into multiple individual actions. This landmark case demonstrated Judge Guo’s distinctive expertise in securities law. Leveraging its success, Judge Guo founded the China Securities Law Institute (CSLI), for which he served as chairman for eight years. CSLI remains China’s most prestigious legal institute in the field of capital markets.
