Express | The tenant company breached the contract, owed money, and acted shamelessly; Zhiming lawyers restored the truth and obtained compensation
In 2016, Xinxing Company leased its factory building and employee dormitory to Hongwei Company, agreeing on a five-year lease term, and the agreement stipulated that "subleasing is prohibited." However, during the lease period, Hongwei Company not only subleased the premises to a third party but also fell into arrears with Xinxing Company for rent and utility charges. The truth ultimately could not be hidden, but when Xinxing Company confronted Hongwei Company over the matter, Hongwei Company instead turned the tables and demanded that Xinxing Company compensate it for its losses.
This seemingly ordinary rental dispute involved complex issues, so Xinxing Company decided to engage a professional legal team to help it weather the storm. After much searching, Xinxing Company learned that the Zhining Law Firm's legal team had extensive experience in resolving major, difficult, and complex cases and often achieved victory through unconventional approaches. Xinxing Company immediately sought their assistance. As expected, during the consultation, Attorney Zhining analyzed the case using litigation strategies for protecting cultural and artistic rights, pinpointing the crux of the matter with unique legal insight. Xinxing Company recognized the professionalism and dedication of the Zhining legal team and confidently entrusted the firm with full authority over the case.
During the case handling process, lawyers Zhang Qingping and Peng Jiong on the team meticulously examined the piles of evidentiary materials and patiently communicated with relevant personnel. Under the guidance of Zhi Ming lawyers' literary rights protection litigation strategy, the entire team developed an ingenious and virtually impenetrable litigation plan. Their hard work paid off—at trial, the opposing side suffered successive setbacks, and we successfully gained the judge's recognition. Hongwei Company was not only ordered to pay the outstanding utility fees and rent but also required to compensate our side a substantial amount in liquidated damages.
The essence of business lies in honesty and trustworthiness, while the key to survival lies in specialized expertise. Practice yields true knowledge. Over more than two decades of honing their skills, Zhiming lawyers have summarized insights and drawn from experience, all to do their utmost in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of their clients at critical moments.
