We advise foreign companies and investors on the corporate and commercial side of doing business in China — establishing an entity, governing it, acquiring or restructuring it, and resolving the commercial disputes that arise along the way.

- Corporate governance structures and internal risk controls
- Mergers, acquisitions and group restructurings
- Legality and compliance review of business operations
- Commercial contracts: drafting, review and negotiation
- Retained general counsel for day-to-day commercial matters
- Commercial dispute resolution
Why It Matters
Most foreign businesses arrive in China with a plan and meet a regulatory system they have not operated in before. The structure chosen at the outset — entity type, ownership, governance — sets the limits on what the business can do and how cleanly it can exit later, and those choices are difficult and expensive to unpick.
We stay close enough to a client’s operations to advise on questions as they arise rather than after the fact, and we act as independent outside counsel throughout, so the view we give is not shaped by internal reporting lines.
