From Litigation to Win-Win, Shenzhen Professional Divorce Lawyer Tang Yunhong Skillfully Resolves Ten Million Equity Division Stalemate—Interview with Chief Lawyer Tang Yunhong

Introduction: When a marriage comes to an end, how to divide the equity of a business jointly strived for often becomes the most difficult problem between the two parties. Recently, the legal team of Tang Yunhong at Guangdong Dao Hua Law Firm successfully mediated a divorce case involving the controlling equity of a family business, avoiding a "lose-lose" situation. This reporter interviewed Lawyer Tang Yunhong, listening to her talk about how she transformed into a "designer," drawing a blueprint for win-win outcomes within the framework of the law.

Journalist: Lawyer Tang, hello. We understand that you have just successfully mediated a very difficult divorce case involving equity, could you share how you broke the deadlock?

Tang Yunhong: Hello. The core of this case is how to handle the equity of a company established by the male party before marriage, jointly operated and greatly increased by both parties after marriage. The two parties are emotionally opposed; the female party believes that "the company has half of my efforts," and demands a direct division of equity; while the male party insists that "the company is my lifeline" and will not give an inch. Under the circumstances at that time, if a judgment is made, it is likely to lead to instability in the equity structure of the company, even triggering an operating crisis.

Journalist: Faced with this deadlock of "each side has its own reason," what is your first step?

Tang Yunhong: Listening and communication are the first key to unlocking any domestic heartache. We did not rush to discuss legal solutions but had several long talks with both parties separately. I found that the core demand of the female party is not really to intervene in the company's management, but to have her years of dedication recognized and to secure a tangible economic guarantee for her and her child's future. The bottom line of the male party is to maintain control of the company and ensure business stability.

Journalist: So, did you accurately find the balance point of interests for both parties?

Tang Yunhong: Yes, professionalism is manifested at this moment in transforming emotional demands into executable legal solutions. Our team has conducted a thorough due diligence on the company's financial situation and creatively designed a combination scheme of "cash compensation + property exchange": the male party pays a large cash compensation in installments and gives up a high-quality property in a core location to "repurchase" the equity share that the female party could have claimed. This scheme not only ensures that the female party receives cash assets far exceeding her expectations and immediately payable, but also ensures that the male party maintains 100% control over the company, safeguarding the livelihoods of hundreds or even thousands of employees.

Reporter: What was your biggest feeling at the moment of signing the agreement?

Tang Yunhong: Seeing both parties go from initial angry glares to finally signing the agreement rationally, I feel a sense of relief. The value of a family lawyer is not in helping the parties "win" completely, but in helping them "untie" the deadlocks and start new lives. Being able to use our professionalism to safeguard the stability of a company and the future peace of a family member is the meaning of our work.
