Dan graduated from one of the top five law schools in China in 2016, majoring in international economic law. During the university, with the help of her mentor (currently the Deputy Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Arbitration Center), Dan explored international commercial arbitration in depth and published relevant papers.

From graduation to 2021, Dan practised law in mainland China. Dan worked in the Shanghai office of a global offshore law firm. During that period, she not only helped large offshore companies to draft legal documents but also actively helped the chief representative to expand business in mainland China and established good and stable cooperative relationships with well-known banks and immigration companies in Asia. Later, Dan joined the only consulting firm in Shanghai that provides legal, financial and taxation services for Taiwanese enterprises as a corporate legal counsel. From the establishment and operation of the enterprise to the liquidation and deregistration, she has been attentive to clients throughout the whole process. In addition, she also provides long-term legal counsel services for several companies, including but not limited to intellectual property, labour, contract drafting and review, due diligence, etc., involving manufacturing, education, food, advertising and other fields. One year before she came to Dubai, Dan joined one of the earliest comprehensive law firms in Shanghai. She mainly represented the managing partner in talks with clients and facilitated cooperation, involving marriage and family affairs, commercial contracts, housing expropriation and compensation and other fields. The cases amounted to tens of millions of RMB.

With her rich legal experience in mainland China, Dan has established good relationships with Chinese companies in Dubai and provided them with excellent corporate legal services. At the same time, Dan is also continuously improving herself in private wealth management to meet the needs of quantities of high-net-worth individuals in Dubai.
