We can advise on the most complex commercial disputes and international arbitration in China and beyond.
Our disputes and international arbitration specialists can support clients wherever a dispute may arise, whilst advising them at earlier stages of business matters to avoid complex and costly cross-border commercial disputes in the future.
From general commercial disputes and international arbitration, to regulatory investigations, white-collar crime and labour disputes, we can represent Chinese and multinational clients before courts and arbitration institutions in China and globally.
From traditionally IP-heavy industries such as TMT, to a broader range of sectors where "knowledge" plays an increasingly important role, intellectual property has an increasing impact on commercial results and even long-term business strategies.
Equipped with both legal expertise and engineering backgrounds, our IP specialists can advise on complex IP, patent and antitrust-related litigation across industries.
We can represent clients in China's courts, as well as advising in overseas jurisdictions.
The disruption to workplaces by the pandemic is rapidly increasing the pressure on both employees and employers.
Our labour law specialists advise on employment investigations, labour disputes, company restructurings and employment policies.
We also advise on the employment aspects of transactions.
We offer an "integrated execution centre", providing end-to-end service to our Chinese clients considering overseas investments and acquisitions.
Our international relationships and experience enable us to act as expert guides to Chinese companies investing and operating overseas.
Our experience covers all sectors, with particular strengths in manufacturing, life sciences, consumer and TMT.
