Shanghai

Our Greater China-focused team cuts across a wide range of practice areas and represents clients of various sizes from many industries.

We help international enterprises (and those with international aspirations) navigate the changing business and regulatory landscape in pursuing in-bound opportunities in Greater China, as well as assisting private and public Asia-based enterprises conducting outbound business activities.

We serve local and international enterprises that need highly sophisticated and proficient legal counsel who can bridge the gap between Western and Chinese legal concepts and cultural differences.

Our experience includes the representation of U.S., European and Asian companies in such matters as cross-border mergers and acquisitions, U.S. and Hong Kong capital markets transactions, joint ventures, private equity and venture capital investment, and branch operations. The firm also represents clients in litigation, arbitration and other means of dispute resolution.

Our clients encompass a vast range of industries, including pharmaceutical, chemicals, mining and natural resources, renewable energy, manufacturing, construction, real estate, consumer goods, distribution network and retail, fashion and clothing, agriculture, communications and networking, media and information technology. The attorneys in our Greater China practice offer significant expertise in the People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong), the United States, UK and France.

Our attorneys in Shanghai are fully integrated with the firm’s other practice groups in the United States, Europe, Beijing and Hong Kong. Our Greater China practice is a single integrated operation which affords us maximum staffing flexibility to achieve optimal efficiency in each client matter. We also draw upon a network of “best of breed” local counsel around the globe with whom we have long-standing relationships.
