About LawMay
Cross-Border Dispute Resolution
A U.S. boutique firm focused on cross-border IP, federal litigation, Section 337 investigations, and product liability.
Firm Overview
In cross-border litigation, accurately grasping the facts and the client's core needs — and communicating and strategizing efficiently — is the key to success. Our attorneys hold both PRC and U.S. qualifications and practice in both China and California.
Drawing on dual language and cultural fluency and a cross-time-zone workflow, we engage with you fully and promptly, so the issues that matter are discussed and addressed without delay.
We focus on U.S. federal IP litigation and other significant US–China IP matters, and have represented companies in federal courts across the country — including the Central and Northern Districts of California, Northern District of Illinois, Western District of Washington, Eastern District of Virginia, Eastern/Southern/Western Districts of Texas, and Southern District of Florida — major venues for IP disputes.
Our work spans patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets, unfair competition, and Section 337 investigations. We handle high-complexity, multi-jurisdiction litigation and can move quickly in U.S. federal court — including temporary restraining orders (TRO), preliminary injunctions (PI), and asset-freeze relief — with full representation at every stage.
