Board of Advisors
Through close collaboration with experts on our Board, we provide cross-time-zone support and access to languages beyond Chinese and English, including French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, and Korean. All communication is seamlessly integrated and finalised in Chinese or English, linking Chinese companies and entrepreneurs with overseas counterparts in EMEA and other markets.
Our services for clients and professional peers go beyond bilingual legal advice and representation. They are rooted in a deep understanding of local business practices, regulatory environments, international trade norms, and judicial systems both in China and abroad. We offer comprehensive management of transactions, projects, and disputes, delivering value-added, solution-oriented services to help clients succeed in complex local and international markets.
We understand that successful cross-border legal services require an extensive and well-managed international network of professional collaborations. For a country as vast and complex as China, the challenges include not only its size but also diverse markets and local practices. Establishing standalone offices across China or abroad entails high operational costs and difficulties in ensuring consistent professional quality. Similarly, relying on "yellow pages"-style domestic or international directories often fails to provide effective solutions.
Chinese clients face significant challenges in international markets, often involving critical commercial interests and strategic operations where errors are costly. Likewise, international clients handling transactions, projects, disputes, or compliance matters in China encounter complexities across various regions and specialised fields. A single office or legal team in Beijing or Shanghai is often insufficient to meet these needs.
With over two decades of experience in the Chinese legal market, our team of lawyers has come from top-tier law firms in China. We have established and maintained an extensive network of competent legal professionals in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, as well as in secondary cities including Nanjing, Wuxi, Dalian, Qingdao, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Xi'an, Chongqing, and Chengdu. This network enables us to provide comprehensive coverage across China. Our domestic peers are highly experienced specialists across fields such as litigation and arbitration, capital markets, financial regulation, intellectual property, employment law, cybersecurity, and data compliance. Leveraging our core team’s expertise and expansive network, we deliver strategic advice and tailored solutions to international clients entering or operating in the Chinese market.
While the "Board of Advisors" primarily consists of practising lawyers across jurisdictions, it also includes financial advisors, investment bankers, accountants, tax specialists, regulatory consultants, investigation firms, dispute and litigation finance providers, insolvency practitioners, IP agencies, architects, HR consultants, and more.
The Board is dynamic, non-exclusive, and free from commercial conflicts of interest. It is specifically designed to address unique client needs, delivering tailored professional solutions for each case. This innovative approach reflects our commitment to redefining legal services. As lead counsel and legal project managers, we mobilise the most appropriate professional resources for each project, combining legal advice with industry-specific practices to deliver optimal business solutions.
