Mainland China

Our China Desk comprises lawyers from across a wide range of practice areas who have experience of working with clients from China and the AsiaPac region who have business interests in the UK or the many other jurisdictions in which we operate. It includes lawyers who speak native Mandarin and Cantonese and who possess an intimate working knowledge of China and Chinese business culture, having lived and worked in China over a number of years. Additionally, our collaboration with highly-regarded Shanghai law firm Kai Rong, offers our clients on-the-ground capability in the areas of dispute resolution, international arbitration and insurance business including marine and aviation.

We regularly advise Chinese businesses operating in different jurisdictions and trading across international borders on all aspects of commercial, legal and regulatory risk, in areas including the set-up and operation of local offices, regulatory compliance, competition law, property investment, fraud and corruption, cyber and data protection, commercial contracts and litigation. Working hand-in-hand with our international offices and partner firms worldwide, including our Legalign Global alliance of leading insurance and dispute resolution law firms, we are able to provide local insight and pragmatic advice wherever and whenever you need it.
