Ms. CAI Guo started her dispute resolution practice in the public international law sector, as a member of the Khmer Rouge Trial Monitor Team and intern for the International Criminal Court and ICTY. While studying at the University of Hong Kong, Ms. Cai provided pro bono legal assistance to refugees and asylum seekers. The unique multicultural diversity that defines the very beginning of her career continues to influence Ms. Cai's world views and enables her to solve cross-border disputes with cultural fluency and collaborate seamlessly across jurisdictions with ease.

In 2022, Ms. Cai successfully represented a foreign national in a labor dispute that went all the way to the Chinese Supreme Court, which eventually endorsed Ms. Cai’s argument regarding a novel, unsettled legal issue. The case was subsequently elected by the Supreme Court as one of the six “Guidance Cases” in 2022 concerning judicial supervision of arbitral awards（涉仲裁司法审查指导性案例, Guidance Case No. 201）that provided uniform rules to similar cases across China. The case was awarded by the China Business Law Journal as the “Deal of the Year (Dispute Resolution)” in 2022.

Since 2021 Ms. CAI has been listed in the “Who’s Who Legal” and “Client Choice Awards” in a row. Starting from fall 2024, Ms. Cai partnered with Harvard Law School’s Sports Law Clinic and mentored student externs with an interest in sports law and China-related legal issues.
