China
We have one of the most experienced China law practices in the region with the ability to advise on Hong Kong, UK and U.S. law. We have been in China for over 20 years and were one of the first international law firms to obtain official approval from the People's Republic of China (PRC) Ministry of Justice to register an office in Beijing in 1993.
Our full service practices in Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai, cover cross-border, multidisciplinary deals such as anti-trust, dispute resolution, distribution arrangements, financing, foreign direct investment, intellectual property, international capital markets, licensing, mergers and acquisitions, outbound investment, project finance, real estate, regulatory services, technology and telecommunications transactions.
We have around 180 lawyers and consultants in the region and we continue to look for opportunities for further growth, always considering where our clients may want to turn to us for international and local advice. This is why, during 2010, we opened offices in Sydney and Perth in Australia and entered into an exclusive association with Ginting & Reksodiputro in Indonesia. A large number of our lawyers are native speakers of, or proficient in, Mandarin and Cantonese.
We have good working relationships with a number of major local law firms in the PRC and as such are able to provide a seamless and full range of legal services to our clients.
